Bob had to hike through a whole lot of rain and cold the last couple of days.  He is now in Idyllwild with a couple of other hikers drying out in a motel.  He has a trail name now - Two Track.  The other hikers named him that because of the odometer he made to measure the trail.  They say they always know where he is on the trail because of the two small tracks it leaves in the trail - and they have been looking out for him.  That's good news! 

There is a big snow storm coming in so he plans to hike two more days to Cabazon and then come home before he hits higher elevations where the snow is.  He has been having a lot of fun meeting the other hikers and really hasn't had any problems other than rain and cold.  He has had enough of the rain and cold, however.  And it is 86 degrees in Seattle!!
