Week three; mile 178 to 275. 

Week three comes with big highs and lows — literally and figuratively, on trail and off trail. 

Camping at 8,000 feet (2,500m) in the middle of a storm means waking up with snow on my tent, but summiting San Jacinto that same day above a cloud inversion with warm sunshine. Descending San Jacinto and losing 2,300m elevation in one day while leapfrogging Cowboy and Butter, and In N Out never tasting so dang good. Cowboy camping together on a ridge and falling asleep talking about climbing objectives. Slowly route finding through the washed out section of Mission Creek but reveling in having water available all day long. 

Waking up to news of a friend’s passing back home, sobbing in my sleeping bag, and a slow, grief-filled walk into Big Bear Lake. Luck being on my side and getting to spend a day of lovely shenanigans with Dodger, CarFax, and Will, flipping my whole mood around. Breakfast with The Boys Club, with portions so big we can barely fit everything on the table. Catching my first hitch alone and thankfully not getting kidnapped. Getting back on trail after a couple of neros and feeling so, so lucky to experience all of this.

Some “unofficial” photos from Mark and I’s wedding day🥹❤️ We had a crazy week leading up to it, but the beauty really unfolded as friends and family all came together to help our vision come to life! Center pieces cut from our beloved woods, flowers from @mollygmason ‘s farm, an incredible charcuterie spread from @rhondiddle, crab cakes and salmon dip that was fresh caught by Mark, a beautiful arbor crafted by my amazing sister-in-law, and a homemade cake were just a few highlights that really made it special. Having so many friends and family members come in from out of town filled our hearts to the brim! Happiest day of our lives thanks to God and all of our loved ones!
