Day 34 6/18 21mi.
We started the day with a slight downhill to a highway. Where someone had stored a bit of water for hikers. The group of 5 of us all drank a ton of water and headed up a long and fairly steep uphill.
We kept moving until we found a huge pine tree casting off a lot of shade where we all ate and took naps. Then continued on to a spring that was barely trickling, it took us all about 2 hours to get all filled up for the next 19 mile waterless strech, because the water was dripping out so slow.
We continued on to an area with a lot of flat spots to camp at, we had to kicked dried up cow pies off of our flat spots again.
Also the Joshua trees are extremely sharp! Dr. Huss stood up into the tree we are sitting under in the picture and it resulted in him having a gnarly blood stain on his hat.



I was reading that the leaves of Joshua trees were used for basket weaving and shoe making. Also the seeds and flower buds are edible. Cool!
