So I've been slackin' hard and haven't finished the post covering Idyllwild to Wrightwood. Not sure when I'll have internet next to get it published so here's just a little glance at how I'm doing:
Mile/day avg since Idyllwild: about 24
Health: couple blisters, my knees hate me, all else is good
Weather: hot hot hot and windy
Wildlife: couple more rattlers; deer; millions of lizards, bees and other insects that love to fly into our faces.
Music: best walking album so far is definitely Stranger by Balmorhea, but listened to lots of post-rock like Explosions in the Sky, classics like the Doors and Pink Floyd, etc. and a few new bands my buddy Miles put on a playlist for me (La Luz, Sleepy Sun, etc)
Best on-trail snack: not the best in terms of caloric content or anything, but I've been crushing those Annie's Gummy Bunnies like no ones business. My homemade trail mix with almonds, cashews, fruit I've dehydrated and whatever Bristol Farms calls their version of M&Ms is pretty fantastic as well.
Best trail meal: tortilla soup mix blended with garlic herb instant mashed potatoes
Best off trail food: gotta say Saucy Mama's in Big Bear - pineapple, jalapeño, bell pepper and onion pizza with garlic fries and a pitcher of Fat Tire.
Trail-name: still waiting for one!
