2013-05-15 - Day 7 Twentynine Palms, CA

5/15/2013
Miles: 00

10:00 PM
Twentynine Palms, CA

We had a good day. We took my car for an oil change, went to the grocery store, had Chinese fast food, did the laundry, took a nap then delivered Daniel back to the trail after a quick shopping stop at Walmart in Yucca Valley.

Dan decided he wanted to start in the Whitewater Canyon rather than back at Snow Creek Village. This saved about 15 miles of uninteresting and relatively warm walking. I dropped him at the end of Whitewater Canyon Road at the Whitewater Preserve which is 1-2 miles from the PCT crossing of the Whitewater River. He planned to walk in a few miles and camp for the night.

The Whitewater Preserve is a very beautiful place. I walked around in the developed headquarters area but did not have the presence of mind to take pictures. There are pictures and information on the Internet.

Dan will walk 47 miles from the PCT crossing of the Whitewater River to Highway 18 near Big Bear where I will meet him Friday afternoon at about 4:00 PM. Until then I will continue my rigorous regimen of goofing off and sleeping.
