After she passed us and went on down the trail we noticed that she passed by a possible source 1 miles to Willow Spring, so she must not have been desperate. Since there were hardly any flat, smooth places to pitch, we decided to camp at a flatish place alongside the trail. He said he was hiking from Kennedy Meadows to Tehachapi. He went on down the road to camp for the nite. Today already we have seen some neat desert stuff, big old lupine plants in bloom.
Tomorrow promises to be hot and dry unless it rains.
Hope it is cloudy. Along the way we signed in at a register which had mostly scraps of paper that people had placed in it. We noticed that a man called John Denver had passed going south yesterday, so that must be the name of the guy who passed by our tent last evening. The climb was very difficult because the trail was mostly sand. It was like climbing the Pismo dunes over and over again.
