Day 5 (cont):

Grant is in a town called Julian at Mile 77. He is between getting a room or simply getting back on trail.

Many hikers from Day 1 have arrived in town and they seem to be sharing drinks and all having a wonderful time.

Considering going to “Mother’s” for a slice of famous apple pie.

Grant reports, “found a good group, going to stick with these guys for awhile.”

Bad weather coming in on Sunday. Plan is to try and get to mile 105, near a town called idylwild.

A quick break in idylwild before summiting one of the highest peaks in Southern California.
