We say goodbye to the luxury of the last two nights and Donna and John's wonderful hospitality.
It really gave us a chance to recharge our batteries as the walking has become quite relentless as we march closer and closer to the finish. Donna and John plan to visit Australia in a month's time, and we offer for them to come and stay with us - they are able to adjust their itinerary and they do stay with us. Not as luxurious as what they are used to, but they seemed to enjoy the experience!
A really hard day. We climb 3,000ft to the top of Saddleback Mt - windswept granite domes. At least the sun is shining and we hunker down behind a pile of stones to have lunch with On the Loose. It is an exhausting descent full of steep wet granite and tree roots exposed to trip you up at every turn. We arrive at the shelter to find Red Hat in her hammock and two new hikers, Stryder and Rainbow Man, both of whom appear very laid back.
