Day 9: Saturday, May 5

(Dr Bug) We woke to calm blue. Susan was feeling better. The sun returned. Everything is alawys better in the morning.

We had many breaks, yesterday's wind wore everybody down. Got water at Tule Spring, a tank filled weekly. Susan and I did not treate the h2o, bad move, let's see if we get sick in a week or so. Hiked at alt. of 3800 to 4900 ft. This day had the most up hill hiking so far. Trail was very sandy, like walking on the beach. Walked over Table Mountain and got a good view of the small town Anza. Saw a few solitary homes on the ridges, all had their own water tank. People around here must be very self sufficient. Ended this 17 mile day by walking off the trail to a resteraunt called the Paradise Cafe. Ate burgers and salmon. Met a local that had a Russian Wolf. It was huge. I petted the thing, but all he was interested in was somebody's hamburger.
