Big Bear to Cajon Pass

The last post left off with Legasorus arriving in Big Bear Ca. He snagged a ride into town, got a room at the Motel 6, and collected his resupply package. He was given a heads up to look for another package from our friends from Alaska, Lyn and Steve. That package was filled with all kinds of goodies, which really gave Legasorus a much needed boost. They had included pop rocks, licorice, Jolly Rodgers candy, and some really good chocolate that had different flavors in them, including raspberry, lime and orange. So good! Thank you Lyn and Steve, for being so thoughtful. By the way, for whoever was praying for Lyn and Steve during their difficult time, it so totally worked, they are doing great now, and they wanted you to know they appreciated your prayers and thoughts.



So now enters Rika and Oli. Legasorus ran into them at Big Bear. We meet them last year at Kickoff, and it was good for him to see old friends. They are also hiking the trail this year and their trail journal is on our side bar. Anyway, they ended up buying Lego a big steak dinner that night, which was so awesomely delightful! Any time we can reciprocate we definitely will. They were in town trying to recuperate from painful knees, we hope it is going better for you two now.

Then away Lego went after taking a day off from hiking. Lego was anxious to see this part of the trail again, for in '99 just having hit Deep Creek the sun started going down, and we had no place to camp. The trail stays high above the creek here, and the only flat area is the trail! Right before the darkness
hit, we found a small bridge that was somewhat wider than the path we were on, and there was home for the night. It was exciting for him to see it again, you know, the whole nostalgia thing was kicking in.

Lego was hiking for 4 days, then he was approaching Cajon Pass. He got some awesome pictures of this section, but of course we can't add them at this time. He checked into the Best Western and called home......
