Day 21: Big Bear Lake - Tent Site @ mile 275

Date: 28.04.2018 

Miles hiked today: 9 miles Total Mileage: Mile 275 I slept in today till 8:30am. That was more than 10 hours of sleep and resting - I really needed it! We got up and started to pack and get ready but we took time to so so and left the Hotel at 10am. We have to return our bikes and it is a hell of a ride (about 2 miles :)! with loads of ups and downs. With our backpacks on this was quite a mission :) Rahels dad arrived to town yesterday and they picked us up to go shopping. This time we really tried hard to buy less and lighter stuff and it kind of worked out. No fresh tomatoes or avocado anymore. I die buy a bell pepper but they are very light weight. But then Rahel came along with a Family Pack of m&m's and there goes our lightweight food! We have to buy food for about 5-6 Day worth of food because to the next town it is a hike of a little more than 100 miles. We made it back on the trail by 3:15pm. Rahels dad gave us a lift. Both me and Joanne have a sentimental moment missing friends and family and questionning ourseleves if we really want to hike it. However, it was just a very short moment while our backpacks are heavy on our shoulders, our feet hurting because of the blisters, and just leaving a nice town with all the comfort it comes with. We made it to the tent site around 6:30pm. Not really hungry yet because we ate a huge pizza with yummie ranch sauce while packing our backpacks we hardly ate dinner. There is now already one dinner we didn't eat but which we have to carry in our backpacks to the next town:(
