Day 22: mile 266.1-285.9

 After a quick shower, vacuum, sheet change, and wipe down in the kitchen and bathroom I was headed back to the trail. Nothing like a little morning cleaning sesh to get your day started. …oddly enough I do prefer cleaning in the morning. A little fun fact about myself for ya. 😜 

It felt really good to be back! I missed the trail, and I missed my body being on the move. Before the trail I was already one of those people who didn’t like going days without a good workout, so once I’m done I can only imagine it’ll get worse. Yikes. 😳 

The trail out of Big Bear was really mellow, which made for a relaxing day. I lost myself in thought about who knows what so many times. It felt very meditative. 

My goal was about 20 miles, mostly so I only had about 20 the following day to the hot springs. It also brought me to a campsite with a privvy (outdoor toilet) and a creek. I decided to pass by the privvy and go a bit further. I found an amazing spot all to myself down by the creek. 

I bathed, did laundry, and sipped the wine I packed out (thanks Lauren! 😉) in my underwear. I also set up my tent in my underwear. 😂 For one no one was around, but more exciting, it was warm enough to do so. If you haven’t caught on by now I love warm weather and sunshine …and being in my underwear. 🤣

Being the first night in a while I stopped this early in the day, I enjoyed the time I had to relax instead of my usual eat and pass out routine. Fantastic first day back on the trail, and tomorrow I’m off to the hot springs where even underwear is optional! 😂 

Goodnight!
