Today was truly hot and dry. The desert amazes me in that the sand is hotter than the sun, reflecting back heat and almost burning our feet, even through shoes. My left foot has been bothering me. Something near the instep.
I did get some windmill pictures, some good lizard pictures, and a lovely flower I call desert rose, surely not its real name!
Also a furry bug- who is he?
Tomorrow is a zero day. Try to rest that foot eat and get ready for the next section to Walker Pass.

Last summer the Canadian border opened at Manning Park, BC. I walked the last 70 miles with a sense of joy and gratitude, the monument was crowded with people from all over the world, finally able to compete their dream.
The summer of '23 was incredible for another reason. Lonely for the simple pleasure and renewing life of long distance trail hiking I decided to begin the Continetal Divide Trail !
I hiked from the south I-15 crossing to Canada (about 900 miles), experiencing windstorms, a blizzard, twice daily thunderstorms and days without seeing even a human footprint.
I was hooked! Stay tuned as Wingman and I restart the blog chronicling the remaining 2100 miles of the CDT, from Mexico to Montana.
