Day 1
Hauser Mountain - Mile 10 - May 22nd, 2017
I'm pretty tired so I don't plan to journal much. Here are some updates: I met a married couple ( Matt and Emily) on the bus to the trailhead and I've been hiking with them all of today. Despite all of our ambitions to hike a lot of miles, we maintained a slow and steady pace to minimize fatigue and risk of injury. Already we came upon a hiker ill-prepared for the rigors of the desert, resting with a companion near the 6 mile point. Other than those two, we saw one other hiker in the distance behind us, tho it is now dark and likely that he camped short of us.
I have a joy about this journey unlike any other journey I've undertaken before. Seeing that each mile I hike benefits a charitable cause makes me feel like I'm finally on an adventure about more than the stories I'm left with after it's all said and done.
