Still doing that walking thing

Made my way up to Big Bear today, and will be spending tomorrow here also.

On the travels through the last section of the PCT we have discovered that the trail is Bi-Polar when it comes to what type of climate it wants to be in. The section started in desert, then proceeded to climb up, and up, and up. Eventually we were 6000 feet above our starting and happy to be out of the blistering heat. The next day we managed only 17 miles, 2 of which I'm glad to report were on a trail. The other 15 miles was on 5-10 feet of snow field with no sign of the PCT. Ice axes would have been helpful in more then one position but when you don't have something, find a new use for your paddle. The next day was the never ending mountain, we traveled from 8000 feet down to 1000 feet over a period of about 15 miles. Snow cover fields to scorching desert in about 5 hours. 2 days later we did the reverse and climbed the never ending canyon, and over a period of about 15 miles climbed from 2500 to 8000, and back into the snow fields.

There will be some great pictures and videos uploaded soon, as I will send them out tomorrow.

This section was defiantly like the land of Oz, full of lions and tigers and bears, oh my.
