"Epic day today! Very hot." 4/6/22 8:55 PM
It was a pretty hot day that day, despite it only being early April. We left camp and headed towards Warner Springs, an optional resupply that we were opting to bypass. I ventured ahead of the main group and took a long rest up ahead in a cool ravine with a nice creek running through it. I spent a long time waiting for my companions in the shade. I had initially set Tom's Place as a good goal for the evening, still eleven miles ahead. By the time the group arrived, nobody was excited to keep going, so I decided to forge on ahead. I set a quick pace and enjoyed the cooling air as the sun lowered in the sky. By the time I made it to Tom's Place it was dark. I had heard that Tom's Place was a little bit weird, and I ran into some hikers right outside who were leaving because of the weird vibe. I decided to go on in to Tom's property to collect water from one of his tanks, but did not spend the night. Instead I headed out along the dirt road for a mile or town before setting up camp at the junction with the PCT alongside another pair of hikers.
