New Valley Hills

Travels mainly on foot.

Day 7 10th May

I’m on the trail! 77 miles along.

It’s all been a bit of a whirl of adjustments and needing to press on, meaning little time to blog.

I’ve stayed overnight in Julian, a gold rush town in California. With WiFi I’m able to upload a few photos.

Hot and very dry. Humidity of ~20%
Found some hiking buddies.
Dawn yesterday from wild camp spot.
A very long way to go.
Enormous food portions.
Desert flowers.

    Great photos Patrick. Looks cool in the nights? I expect the first miles feel hard – while your body to get used to the routine.

    Julian looks a bit like a one horse town. I saw a photo of a sign for the Julian Cider Mill. Is that what drew you there?
