that camping spot was so great last night. i slept very soundly. i took off at 06:00 to get a jump on the heat. the hiking proved to be somewhat challenging. i set myself up for this little water challenge. so i had 1.5 liters from mile 163 and wanted to get to a snow melt creek at mile 177. the only challenging thing was the cotton mouth i experienced on the climbs. even by keeping my mouth closed i still dried out quite a bit. i did push thru the challenging parts and got to tahquitz creek, fed by the most refreshingly cold and tasty snow melt - it was fantastic. i filled my belly so full i thought i was going to burst. i then hiked the next mile and a half to the devil slide trail for an easy 2.5 mile hike into idyllwild to resupply.
the video is of me on a nice little mountain top in the morning. enjoy.
16 miles from unnamed mountain to saddle junction. 179 miles total.
