May 9--Hiked a short 7 miles from Wrightwood to the Mt. Baden-Powell trailhead and camped in a picnic area. Glad to be back on the PCT again.
May 10--Mt. Baden-Powell to a trail camp at Mile 380ish... the climb went well.[Other thru-hikers have commented as to gusty winds on the summit.]The monument at the top was nice. Rest of the day was a long upsy-downsy-upsy-downsy trek.
May 11--Mile 380 to Sulphur Springs Camp at Mile 392...twisted my ankle today. Rested for a bit and found that I could still walk. I was scared at first--this could have really ruined our hike.
May 12--Sulphur Springs Camp to somewhere along the Poodle Dog Bypass. Covered 19 miles--terrible overgrowth but some beautiful views.
May 13--Road Camp to KOA--a 19 mile descent to shade, hot dogs and SHOWERS.
May 14--KOA to Saufley's Hiker Haven: 10 miles, a 28"diameter pizza, 2 zero days and lots of company.
