Day 30, Mile 363.4 (16.2 miles + 3 side trail)

Well today was the equivalent of climbing Ben Nevis from Fort William with a full pack, in hot weather, while having to carry all the water I’ll need.I actually started my earliest so far, 6.45, and finally got to Wrightwood about 4.20. Even then I didn’t quite hit my target, as I was spent and descended into Wrightwood via the Acorn Trail.Ironically after 360 miles through mountain and desert, without a single blister, I slipped in Wrightwood 100′ from my destination, ripped my trousers and bloodied my knee.Ironic really.I’m actually quite wrecked so I’ll take a zero tomorrow.
