Oh, I start out at the Mexican border in Campo, CA - which is basically a town for border guards. There are illegals on the trail. It goes through the desert mountains, past Palm Springs and San Bernadino, and through the western Mojave Desert, before it gets to the Sierras. There are twenty-mile waterless stretches of trail (though this year southern CA has gotten a lot more water than in a typical year).

There's a little something for everyone on this trail!

17 days and counting....
