March 5 - Trail Angel Matt!


Started out slow today as it was cold and cloudy. The next reliable water sources are 11 and 28 miles so I thought I'd take it easy and do the eleven. Halfway to Sunrise Trailhead where I plan to camp I met up with Matt from San Diego who was training for his hike which starts on March 24th. We walked and talked quite a bit, a nice reprise from three days of seeing virtually no one. 

Matt helped me out with another equipment failure. My Sawyer water filter squeeze bag sprung a leak and he happened to have an extra along today. Thanks Matt! I'll remember your generosity when I come across other hikers in need. 

Not much out there except for stunning views of the desert.
