Claremont Wilderness Trail- Full Gear

 Beth and I began the hike at 6:45 AM at a temperature of 74 degrees. We did the 5 miles in just under 2 hours and at the end of the hike the temp was 85 degrees. We hiked in full gear as we prepared to hike the TMB in less than a month.

Ice House Saddle July 25 6:15 AM Start

 Today Terry and I hiked to the saddle. We started the day out early to beat the heat. We met at the In-n-Out and while there met Eric an In-n-Out contractor doing some work. We had a good early morning conversation. When Terry arrived Eric said hold on and gave me two burger cards for lunch! That was awfully nice of him, my first trail magic! We made the trail beginning our hike at 6:15 AM. The temp was 71 degrees at the start of the hike and 81 at the end of the hike. Today in town the temp reached 100 degrees.

PCT Update Kennedy Meadows June 29/30

 We arrived in Kennedy Meadows on June 29 about 11:30. We walked into a restaurant called Grumpies where we immediately ran into PCT hiker trail named Hazard. She is part of the group Cameron aka Headbanger has been hiking with. She was not updated on Cams progress, we told her we expected him in later in the day. She and three others had arrived the day before, late in the day. 

Beth and I believingCam would arrive late in the day took our time exploring TCO , then set up Cam, and then did a four mile hike to the KM bridge up river  

After the hike we then headed back into town and we’re planning on stopping at the KM Market. Upon arriving the first person we saw was Cameron. Turns out he and Tinkerbell had arrived an hour earlier.

They will take a zero and hike out on July 1
