Week 4: More Desert

Started this week at a backcountry hot springs and hiked until a random campground. This week i have continued to push farther miles. I have been consistently doing lower 20s each day excluding my first zero on trail. What!! Feels good to be able to go this far each day and see so many different areas each day. Granted this week was drier and less cool to look at then previous weeks. I feel like i spent most of this week trying to catch up to various friends who are ahead of me. One thing im loving about this trail is how many pretty cool people are out here doing it. It's quite easy to make friends and often it feels like we have known each other for a long time even if we met a couple days ago. I think my biggest takeaway from this week is that I am looking forward to being out of the desert and be around trees consistently, maybe even some lakes. Soon enough. This week is a moderately boring week, but the things yet to come are interesting to be sure, just wait :)
