Today my hiking buddy Bilbo headed to Mohave whereas I headed to Tehachapi. We each had a package in the respective town’s post office. We’ve hiked together for the past week and the companionship has been fun. We might meet again before he gets off trail at Walker Pass, but one never knows. So we said our goodbyes and headed off. Thanks, Bilbo.

Earlier today as we hiked through yet more wind turbines.

He took the lead and set a good even pace especially climbing hills and there is ALWAYS hills on the Pacific CREST trail.
