Started: <\/b>Big Bear Lake (250.0)
Ended: <\/b>Big Bear Lake (266.0)
Total: <\/b>16 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could not sleep last night. I longed to be back on the trail. The hotel was too quiet, even with the fan on. There was no sound of blowing wind. There was no sound of nature. The vortex of Big Bear Lake, as nice as it was, was not strong enough to trap me in town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our ride picked us up at 10 a.m. and our goal was to advance 16 miles to the point where most people reach Big Bear Lake. My pack was heavy with seven days of food, but I only needed to carry two liters of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little John followed closely behind me. The first interesting location was a small zoo where animals are trained for Hollywood. I walked point, like I usually do, setting the pace. Somehow I missed the trail as it came of a short road hike, so we missed the zoo. Alas, I have no cool pictures of tigers and bears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I told Little John that it is tradition in my family that when one is walking point and looses the trail, everyone else can ridicule them until they find the way back. Little John refused to pick on me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the weather and the trail were nearly ideal for me, so we advanced quickly. As we reached the end, the trail opened, and we had one of the most amazing views yet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also reached the 10% completed point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will be much easier to sleep tonight. I’m exhausted. The wind is blowing hard and cold, but my sleeping quilt is nice and warm. I’m wearing all my clothes to stay warm. As we arrived late, we are going to “sleep in” until 6 a.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
