Day 17~ miles 266-285
Leaving Big Bear, we got to the trailhead around 9am. We crammed 7 hikers into an old stationwagon with all of our packs piled on top. The car was riding so low! Moonshine, another hiker and I got the rear-facing seat...I thought i was going to vomit traveling up the windy mountainous road (but I didn't).
When we arrived at the trailhead, we saw several other hikers getting back on the trail as well. After 10ish miles, we stopped at a small stream to have lunch. Including ourselves, there were about 15 hikers convened for lunch, the most hikers we've seen on the trail. Hikers seem to clump up around trail towns, and further from town, the crowds usually thin out. We'd prefer to avoid the large crowds.
We hiked through a large and desolate burn area, before arriving at Little Bear Spring Camp, where we are camping with the cabin crew.
