Notes: Trail magic at the Bridge

This entry is not written yet, these are just notes:
Section Notes:
Started out heard spoonman and others going by, we were sluggish to get out
It was wet and cold again
Had to #2 a third day in a row, strange
Headed up to Cottonwood o creek to get water, turns out

Dice game Box Something
hung out inthe shade, finally got going again we had some climbing ahead of us. Cricket joined us the weather kept threatening,
as we got up in the mountains looking for the water source at Tyler Horse canyon but it looked like it was definitely going to rain. We wanted to get more miles in but I didn't want to get all wet. we were trying to get to the Tehachapi pass rd at Rt 58 where Pepe and Bootz were going to meet me with my car but if we stopped here we would have 20+ miles to get to that rd and that wasn't likely. it was 16 miles to the willow creek rd and i could just have Pepe and Bootz pick us up there. We were still beat from the 30 miler the day before so it wasn't hard to convince Bandit and Sprinkles to stay here and cook some dinner.
we met a cat named Joe who just recently got back on the trail after taking a week or two to let his legs heal.

I was a little worried because this canyon looked like it had the potential to flash flood like crazy. It was the only canyon with drainage that we had seen or knew of for many miles and the mountains above it were vast so that means that it didn't even have to raon at all in the actual campsite for it to be completely flooded from rainfall anywhere in the mountains above

Hikers here:
Gourmet, Hot Rod, joe, cricket, etc.

I was glad we stopped because it did rain in the night although nowhere near as bad as it looked like it was going to.
