Day 6 photos

Only 12 or so miles remained before my next resupply, my 100 mile milestone, two injured feet, and a much needed rest night in the already described 'Best Motel' in Mojave. The descent to Willow Springs road was mostly painful, but something very very awesome happened - I came across a rare group of wild horses. Supposedly (from what I remember reading) they were left behind by Spanish Conquistadors back in the day and the horses I saw are the descendants of the ferral horses that have since lived in Antelope Valley. Pretty interesting to see. When I finally limped to the road I found a cooler full of ice and soda and a big water cache thanks to some great trail angels. The hitch took about 20 minutes and I had to take a picture of myself to see what needed cleaning before asking for a ride... There could have shit smeared across my face all week without me noticing, but all seemed fine so on I went. See the "don't stay in the best motel" post for more on the day.
