Cowboy camped at Agua Caliente Creek

Good night last night
Dreamt there was a dog next to me in my sleep. But, my arms were asleep so I could barely pet it. But, it had pointed teeth, maybe it wasn’t a dog.
Also dreamt that A bridge collapsed on my unit. It was from the Chernobyl era. They’d dig us out and then toss us into bouncy nets.
-I remembered dreams really well when I woke up out there. Then I would start my walking trying to figure out the meaning behind them.

10.4 miles today. (+1 for getting to Warner Springs, and +1 for missint the Warner Springs turn the first time.) so really 12.4. I have an option to go 4 more miles but better water source here. A restful day then 20+ miles tomorrow to get to water. Blisters are settling in feeling better and better. Calluses forming. Bit of rear end chaffing which I wanna control. TMI but hey you get the dirty deets in these reflections.

Reminder to myself it’s only day 3 for trail legs. Stay on upward trend. “Little details brother” -Nims Purja. His mental game, his perspective, how he frames things is so elite. STAY POSITIVE, LITTLE DETAILS.
Nims Purja, he’s the guy who hiked the 14 tallest peaks in the world in 6 months. Check out the documentary on Netflix. His mindset is gritty and helped me not be a little bitch.

Great lunch spot at Warren Springs for SAUSAGE DOGS. Ladies working were cute as can be. I had 1, went back and got a 2nd.
I had lunch with Asaf. Met him for the first time. He is an Isreali dude. Vegan. He had a box sent here full of food. A ridiculous amount of food. That was my first impression of Camel. He would grow to be a great friend.

Eagle Rock was dope! Did 5 min stretch there.

100+190+230+150+220+280+190+370= 1730 (Approximate Daily Cal)
Thats what I approximated in camp of what I ate in a day. How terrible. I was losing weight so quick.
