After finishing 40 days and nights of walking through the desert we took a much needed day off or “zero” day in Tehachapi. Our roughly 48 hour schedule included showers, laundry, eating salads, shopping for our next week of food, naps, and hanging out with some new friends from the trail – all of whom Jeremy introduced to pinball (or “flipper” for our German friends).

We hadn’t taken a full day off since Big Bear Lake about 300 miles back, so our bodies and spirits were ready and now feeling somewhat rejuvenated.

We are now setting off for another 87 mile section (Section F, which ends at Walker Pass) which will bring a conclusion to our time in the desert.
