Tough Hike with 4,500 Foot Elevation Gain
It was a rough day. The trail went up the entire way from 3,566 feet where I camped last night to today’s elevation – a 4,500 foot elevation gain.

It was a rough day. The trail went up the entire way from 3,566 feet where I camped last night to today’s elevation – a 4,500 foot elevation gain.

The Cajon Pass Mc Donald’s was just over 5 miles, and I was set on having a breakfast sandwich and some of that lawsuit causing hot liquid in the form of tea.

The trail for the better part of the day went around Silverwood Lake. It’s a beautiful lake with plenty of boat traffic.

About 4 PM, I arrived at a road. There were two hikers there. I asked if they were going to the Joshua Inn and they were waiting for a car to take them there.

My target for the day is Deep Creek Hot Springs. Right in the large creek, there are pools of hot and cold water. I would love to soak my feet at least.

I woke up and hiked. I missed a turn, hiked 1.5 miles and then 1.5 miles back. I crossed a creek twice. I hiked to a campsite. It’s Just That Simple.
It’s back to the trail. At 9:15, I walked down to the bus stop. The bus was late, but I was onboard by 10:05. The driver knew where to drop me off for the trail

No hiking today. This is a day off in Big Bear Lake. I caught up with my journals and personal business early in the morning.

I found a super deal for Big Bear Frontier Resort. It was just a little over what hostel was going to charge me for a private room. I reserved it.

I was the last out of camp this morning. The plan is to go to a campsite only one-half mile from highway 18, which is the access point to Big Bear.
