Playing Catch up!

SO there is a Lot to fill in on. Took a Zero Day in Julian to escape from rain and wicked wind! ate Pie at Mom's and had a free Lunch! Kicked a sname that I thought was dead. It wasnt. it looked at me as if to say "dick!" and slithered away. I saw beautiful desert blooms. and caught 2 Horney Toads! they are awesome. I walked through a feild of poppies and lupin, singing the theme song for the wizard of OZ the entire time. Found myself at Eagle Rock (America, F** Yeah!). and took some pictures. Got to Warner Springs in tome to wait for the Post Office to open the next day. so soaked my legs in the hot springs. Kept walking north and ended up running into SNOW!!! Snow in Southern CA? you may ask. Why yes, when you are up at 8850 feet of elevatuon there is still snow. Some sections were tricky to meander, and other parts made me feel at home. We had a short lived snowball fight and made it to the town of Idyllwild ,CA which is were I am right now.  So here are some photos that may do a better job explaining the weeks.

Warner Springs Ranch

I am in Warner Springs, CA. I have been on the trail a week now and I have walked over 100 miles! What a woderful time so far. Warner Springs Ranch is a resort with hot springs and cold pools, hores back riding and buffet. very nice establishment.

I am looking forward to a shower and a soft bed. will be picking up my mail drop when the post office opens at 12 noon on Monday, then off to the trail once more. it should  take about 4 days to get to Idllwild, CA.

With all of the snow and rain Southern California has gotten this year the deserts are lush with green, and everything is blooming. It is beautiful. I think my favorite is the cactus rose. I am unable to post photos currently so I will in the next town stop.

Feeling good and in no rush since there is rumored to be snow in the mountains ahead.

I have made some new friends; Lisa, Mr. Mountain Goat, Hiker 816, and Green Tortuga among others. People are very nice and everyone I meet seems to come  from a different background. It is great to meet so many different people, who all like to hike.

That is all for now.
Peace and Love
