MP 342 I am at Cajon Pass taking an unanticipated zero. Have to replace my socks, which are all in shreds, before i can go on. Cajon Pass is on I-15 and consists entirely of a mcdonalds, a chevron station, a subway sandwich shop, and a best western motel.

Woke up and startedd hiking with the sunrise this morning. I find myself establishing the same routine as most of the thru hikers: start hiking at or before sunrise and continue until about noon or one, take a siesta until about 3 or 4 during which i prepare the main meal of the day, then continue hiking until dark. I usually hike with no particular destination other than canada.
