Started hiking at 5:30 am. Covered 24 miles today climbing up and up into the high desert and on into a more alpine like environment. It was cool and shady most of the day. The desert is being left behind as we approach the Sierras. Camped at Chimney Creek. Just to orient people to where I am, Walker pass is near the towns of Lake Isabella and Onyx. I'm currently 30 miles north of there and will be in Kennedy Meadows tomorrow night, Monday. The nights are much colder at this higher altitude.
There was a bit of excitement this evening when a very healthy looking bear ambled down the road next to camp. He was supremely unconcerned about my presence and disappeared into the woods within a few minutes.
