Quick update. We are in Acton, CA … we completed the Wrightwood to Acton slog and crossed over the 400 mile marker in the process. The slog included high desert (snow) and low desert (extreme heat). This hike is not for Wimps. Todays hike into the Acton KOA (whete we and about 40 other hikers are staying) was rough.
Right out of Wrightwood we climbed Baden-Powell mountain thst took us to 9,200 feet. Uo too snow covered the trail. The climb was tough, but not as tough as the heat in the low desert today.
The other day we had a short road walk (trail is closed in an area due to endangered frogs?). A trail angels stopped and gave us donuts and a Bud Light. When a stranger hands you a cold beer known hot day….
Actin KOA is cool. Very hiker friendly. All our hiker friends are here. Was a great time tonight hanging out. Nothing crazy… beer, pizza and what not. People seemed to be a bit tired from the slog. The nice thing was the pool, it felt icy cold. Fellas, the desert is no joke HOT!
