Today we started hiking at 6:03 and ended at 3:00 pm. Some would call that a Nero day. We climbed 3,000 ft. and decided to do ourselves a kindness. ( we haven't had rest since Tehachapi mile 566) We stopped at a place that was supposed to have running water. We found two puddles, one with a significant amount of algae in it. The streams are not flowing well. We stopped at the south fork of the Kern earlier to fill up a couple of water bottles fully expecting the water report we have to be accurate. Not so. It's too outdated. We thought that once we hit the Sierra our water troubles would be over but we have to wait until mile 752
to stop obsessing over water. We are at mile 722. Just awhile longer. It appears we are in between herds of hikers.
