warner springs

Scissors Crossing 77.2 to 3rd Gate Water Cash 99.2
Back from the kick off.   Water was very short but a beautiful day in the desert.  Camped at the 3rd Gate Water Cache.     Started early and hit the 100 mile mark mid-morning.  Am now  relaxing here at the community center.   The resort here is closed so the community stepped in with supplies & hot food that we can purchase here & rest from the heat.  Passed Eagle Rock in the late afternoon. Finished section A.   18 miles today. 

MP 109. I am camped under a large oak tree outside of warner springs. Started out at 6:45 am to try to avoid the heat. Hiked 19 miles and my feet still feel good. the grades are gentle but moving gradually upwards. Juniper and scrub oak are starting to replace the cactus, sage and tumbleweed. water is scarce. There was only one natural water source in the last 31 miles.
