stop which is at 4.4 miles that'll be my first big stop i've taken a couple stops along the way to uh rest i'm carrying way too much weight in this backpack so at some point in time the nearest town i've got to figure out how to unload about five or six pounds out of this thing because my body physically is okay but the weight is just dragging me down all right talk to you later all right i made it to the first uh water hole you can see there's several hikers here this is at uh 4.4 mile and i filled up my uh water i still had i didn't even use a liter of water so i still had three liters in my pack but there's my pack back there put it there so i can get it back get back into it uh i'm gonna take a little bit of a rest here i made my goal to get here by noon time so i'll take a rest and then i'll hike for a while until i find a campsite tonight [Music] well i'm at uh mile marker 5.1 and uh that weight is just killing me uh it's about uh two o'clock in the afternoon i've only went

good and i've got a good morning i'm sorry i didn't really catch the sunrise but uh it's a nice morning it wasn't bad last night not a whole lot of wind and uh the temperature was i think probably in

creek to see if i can resupply water it seems kind of sketchy and then i have to go all the way up this mountainside you can see the trail there goes all the way all the way up over that pass which is about five miles straight up to get over that mountain top to go into lake marina she's gonna be a pair [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] well i'm on my way down to what they call hauser creek

morning to another small campground called big oaks i think it is and uh camp out there and then it'll be another 10 or 15 miles 15 miles from there into mount laguna so i don't know if i'll do that in one day or break that up into two days probably break it up into into two days to keep the mileage down so mount laguna is my first big stop where i'll take a rest and uh take another look at my pack see what i can do to to uh there you can see some of the pac cam ground behind me there uh but take a look at my pack and see if i can see if i can uh unload some more stuff and i won't have to be carrying as much water as i had in these last these first 20 miles because there seems to be water along the way so that's good that takes off a lot of weight but uh yeah uh we'll see you later on today adios
