Day 7 and 8: April 19th and 20th

Gumpy Bear (or Brian in real life) our hiking buddy for the past three days and us woke up on our random ridge before the sun rose and began hiking. We had to meet Alex's parents in Warner Springs that afternoon and couldn't wait to begin our well deserved break.

After the four miles of even more ridges and circling we finally made it down to Barrel Spring Campground by 9 am, took a quick break and pressed on to Warner Springs. Finally there was something to look at!We traveled rather flatly through flowering meadows and even saw some cows!



We made it to Warner Springs by two, met the parents and quicly lapsed into a meat and pool induced coma. Here are what my feet look like after walking 110 miles!
It was so great to see the smiling faces of our family, and the king sized Snickers bars that they were holding. Warner Springs was the BEST place to have come to after walking so far. There are two pools one is a regular one, and the other a hot spring!
We ate all that we could hold and rested up so that getting back on the trail will be well slightly less traumatic!

oh....my....gosh. That is an awesome blister. Your feet are going to be so jacked.

Also...what are YOUR trail names? Is it like everyone has this psydo identity on the trail? I think you guys should make up some names....if you need suggestions, just let me know.
