Low desert, chaparral, then forest. Over and over and over. It really is cool to see the different micro-climates every other day and we are finding the unique beauty in each of them.
Trail magic provided by the guys at Big Bear Hostel. It was AMAZING! Fresh fruit, sodas, pastries, and anything else a hiker could need or want! Even a nice couch! L-R, Almost Awesome, Blue Skies, and Knief (who was in ecstasy that they had knock-off Mountain Dew). Our friend Hyrobics is on the couch slipping into sugar coma. Don't worry, she bounced back quickly.
Fellow hiker Girly-Girl shared her card dry erase card so that everyone could give their love to their moms while we were at Big Bear Hostel.
Leaving Big Bear, we had to go around Big Bear Lake, which made Possum ever-so-slightly perspire. This could be his Backpacker Magazine calendar shot.
This was the landscape that was created by a fire in 2007. It was sad and beautiful all at the same time. Trees were scorched and dead but there was a lot of wild flowers and new plant life.
We left the hostel, and came back 6 hours later after the temps decided to drop back down to freezing. Had a lot of fun at the hostel hanging out.
ReplyDeleteThe couch is an UPGRADE, hiker trash first class!
