I was a long way from the trail, but surprisingly it didn\u2019t take long to get back on it. The first bit was point to point over chaparral but then I got on a dirt road which is so much easier. I passed by Oregon and California trail markers. At 1 pm I stopped for lunch at Weasel Spring and I should have stopped for the day but there were no good camping spots. So I went on and finally tented on a grassy flat with cows. They weren\u2019t happy and moved off. I\u2019m hiking on the high plains 8700\u2019. There are no trees. The morning starts out calm but as the day progresses the wind gusts from 5-15 mph. My little tent is not good in wind. With no trees there are no wind breaks. Nor are there any flat open areas. Everywhere is sandy soil and low to the ground bushes. The soil is very compact and hard to push in tent stakes. Today I had to use a rock as a tent stake hammer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"769\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/1fifoto.com\/cdt_hiking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_0918-769x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/1fifoto.com\/cdt_hiking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_0918-769x1024.jpeg 769w, https:\/\/1fifoto.com\/cdt_hiking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_0918-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/1fifoto.com\/cdt_hiking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_0918-768x1022.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/1fifoto.com\/cdt_hiking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_0918-1154x1536.jpeg 1154w, https:\/\/1fifoto.com\/cdt_hiking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_0918-1539x2048.jpeg 1539w, https:\/\/1fifoto.com\/cdt_hiking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_0918-1200x1597.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/1fifoto.com\/cdt_hiking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_0918-scaled.jpeg 1923w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>In my tent at bedtime &#8211; typically 7 PM.
