Activity Finally
Saturday, March 26th, 2011Hurray, there’s finally new work up again! Its been an adventure since our last post. Lots of hiding from weather and storms. We’ve had a few inches of rain at times, lots of hail again, thunder and lightning, and even some snow at one point. Though if your going to get snowed on, Big Sur is a really pretty place to do it. We also had our first honorary trail bum, Seth. We all got snowed in together in the Big Sur mountains, and he decided to hike with us for a few weeks after-wards. We also met another photographer out of Washington named Brad. (Yes our second cool Brad of the trip) He hung out with us for a few days too, and helped us through some of the less safe road sections of Big Sur. Pat tried his best to break himself again by face planting on a stream crossing, but he survived. Luckily the camera he was holding survived as well. The wildlife is getting a little more wild too. Besides the seals and squirrels, there have been condors and zebra. And even a little plastic water buffalo! lol We almost made it to Vandenburg AFB in time to see a rocket launch, but apparently it was a failure anyway. It was really fun seeing all our old favorite spots in Santa Barbara, and hanging out with some of our friends that still live down there. Thanks Tamara and Jose for letting us hang out and play with the puppies for so long. Now we just have to make it through LA and San Diego, which could prove exciting. But at least the end is almost in sight now. 1700…ish miles down, only about 300 to go!
