Hot today, 10 degrees cooler than yesterday after all. The hike today was really nice and pleasant. Mesquite covered hills, sunshine, shady trees, an huge views of Castle Crags as our trail worked its way around them. Saw only two people on trail today. Stopped short 'cause we felt like it. Not too tired, but just want to go to sleep early and wake up early. Waking up at 4 am. Goodnight all.
