Day 3 June 1

Sorry for such a short update yesterday but we didn’t have an internet connection.  It was a hard day with about 4000 feet of total climb and we were tired at the end.  Stayed in a neat ranch resort in Warner Springs and sort of wish we had time to enjoy some of the activities they offer like glof and horseback riding but sitting in a different saddle didn’t appeal to either of us. 

 

Today was a treat at the start.  We began early and the first 20 miles was largely down hill then we made a right turn and climbed back up everything we gave away and then some.  We topped out at over 5000 feet today and arrived in Idylwild which is a neat little resort town.  Haven’t explored it yet but hope to walk around for dinner etc.  Sorry for any pictures that are upside down.  I will try to correct them as I get a chance. 

 

Weather has been spectacular and the scenery is good.  I love some of these upland valleys ithe the mountains just rising above them.  Saw the Palomar observatory from a distance today at one of our stops. 

 

Distance today, 61, Total so far 160.
