Day 20, Mile 349.4 - Today i got an early start at about 645. Went to put on my shorts this morning and a fairly large spider fell out. It was big enough that i could hear it walking across my Tyvek ground sheet. Maybe i got bit last night, either death or super powers await me, or not. Got into Mcdonalds just before 1030, approx 10 miles later. I do not know who is in charge of how or where this trail goes but i would like to know so i could cuss at them. Today for instance you have a McDonald's stop(good, but not good) and then the next 25 miles are dry and you climb 5000ft in the process. So leaving McDonald's we had to carry enough water for the next 25 miles including dinner water. My body did not appreciate it. We found a cache that was supposedly going to be dry stocked well 5 miles into the second set of 10. It was definitely helpful i just wish i knew about it and i could have forgone the extra weight of 4 liters up to that point. I don't think any of this is making sense. Umm what else w! as i going to say, oh yeah McDonald's was bad. I got two double cheeseburgers a small fry and a 10 piece mcnuggets. I couldn't get through the nuggets and it was probably a good thing cause shortly thereafter i could feel the McDonald's making its way to my brain, i just wanted to go to sleep right there in the booth. I tried to balance it out with two oranges and a banana that was too green. Tomorrow we make it into Wrightwood and hopefully we (still me, Craig and Gina) can or i can find a trail angel to sleep at their house and do laundry. I also need to launder myself, this might be the dirtiest i have ever been in my life, still don't look as dirty as some of the other people out here though. Sleeping on a gap tonight, got what i think is Hesperia on one side and what i think is Mt. Baldy on the other not sure about either though. Moon is almost too bright to sleep under as it was last night too. Have not been using my tent, but kind of wishing i had a free standing one to us! e. New tent, new sleeping bag before the sierras maybe; my budget is shot for this trip. Anyway its still an adventure everyday- i gotta turn my headlamp off now its attracting too many winged insects. Thought of the day; a culinary creation where a very spicy meat dish is served almost freezing cold, couldn't think of a name for it but icy-hot is definitely out. Song of the day; "this is the song that doesn't end" from Lambchop that old TV show, except i changed "song "to "climb" cause it seemed more applicable.
