Day 8 photos

I had cowboy camped (no tarp or anything, just under the stars) as usual and got up at dawn just just before the rain drops started. It was a big climb to start the day, up out of Tehachapi Pass and officially into the Sierra Nevada mountin range. WHOO HOO! By the time I made it the 12 miles to the first water source it was pouring rain - much to everyones surprise... As it obviously couldn't rain more than a few drops (there were cactus and joshua trees around!), I didn't bother to dig out my poncho. You get cold after being wet for 4 hours at 10 celcius waiting for the pouring rain to stop as you walk... I enjoyed feeling cold for a bit again and enjoyed the chance to learn more about my gear in the rain before getting into the real mountains, but once the rain slowed and the sun came out in the evening I stopped early to warm up and setup camp like most people. What do you do in camp at 6pm with 2 hours of light left? I laid in bed and ate half of my next days food...

Order of photos is all messed up...
