Um 7 Uhr aufgestanden. Es hat eine Weile gedauert, bis ich loskam \u2014 Fr\u00fchst\u00fcck, Packen, der \u00fcbliche langsame Start. Als ich bereit war, hatten mich einige Hiker, die hinter mir gewesen waren, bereits \u00fcberholt. Das ist meine Morgenroutine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Rattlesnake<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Die grosse Neuigkeit: keine Feuchtigkeit im Zelt oder Schlafsack. Das erste Mal seit dem Start. Ich glaube, der Wind hat geholfen \u2014 er war die ganze Nacht gleichm\u00e4ssig, und ich hatte in einer Mulde gezeltet. Mein Zelt hat perfekt gehalten. Das allein hat es zum besten Morgen bisher gemacht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nach ein paar Meilen habe ich alle eingeholt, die mich \u00fcberholt hatten. Sie hingen alle an einer Wasserquelle \u2014 wann immer es hier draussen Wasser gibt, bleiben die Leute stehen. Trinken, Schatten suchen wenn es einen gibt, Pause machen. So l\u00e4uft das in der W\u00fcste. Etwa neun Meilen sp\u00e4ter, eine weitere Wasserquelle, dieselbe Szene. Ich bin dort auf Schreiendes Huhn und ein paar andere vom ersten Tag getroffen. Endlich hatte ich Handyempfang, also habe ich meine Notizen und Fotos vom Vortag abgeschickt. Ich war der Letzte, der aufgebrochen ist. Screaming Chicken<\/span> there and a few others from day one. I finally had cell signal, so I sent off my notes and photos from the day before and caught up with people. I was the last one to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auf dem Weg zur n\u00e4chsten Wasserquelle habe ich mich kurz verirrt. Der Trail folgt eine Strecke lang einer Schotterstrasse und ich habe eine Abzweigung verpasst \u2014 bin einfach weiter den Reifenspuren gefolgt bis ich eine Kreuzung erreicht habe und gemerkt habe, dass keine Fussspuren da waren. Umgekehrt. Ich war wahrscheinlich von meinem Trail Mix abgelenkt, der wirklich ausgezeichnet war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Irgendwann habe ich Schreiendes Huhn und andere wieder eingeholt. Screaming Chicken<\/span> und andere. An der n\u00e4chsten Wasserquelle: mehr trinken, mehr reden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ich bin wieder als Letzter gegangen, habe aufgeholt und den Tag mit 16 Meilen beendet. Drei andere waren bereits im Camp als ich ankam \u2014 darunter ThunderPee, von dem ich bis jetzt nur geh\u00f6rt hatte. Auch jemand aus meinem Hotel in San Diego und eine Frau, die ich noch nicht kannte. Ich habe etwas gelesen. Nach Einbruch der Dunkelheit kam eine weitere Frau \u2014 sie macht Cowboy Camping, nur eine Matte, kein Zelt. Das w\u00fcrde ich gerne mal ausprobieren. Aber ich bin nicht scharf darauf, eine Klapperschlange in meinem Schlafsack zu finden. Vielleicht wenn es weniger junge gibt. ThunderPee<\/span>, von dem ich bis jetzt nur geh\u00f6rt hatte. Auch jemand aus meinem Hotel in San Diego und eine Frau, die ich noch nicht kannte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abendessen: Instantp\u00fcree in eine Tortilla gewickelt. Alles kommt in eine Tortilla. Es funktioniert und ist einfach. Wieder Trockenlager \u2014 kein Wasser vor Ort. Man muss immer genug tragen, um die n\u00e4chste Quelle zu erreichen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Sonne kam sp\u00e4t, war nicht zu stark. Der Wind wehte den ganzen Tag gleichm\u00e4ssig \u2014 k\u00fchl, was einen echten Unterschied gemacht hat. Wolken schoben sich immer wieder vor die Sonne. Langer sanfter Abstieg am Nachmittag. Alles in allem der bisher beste Tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
