Day 16 (5/13/11) – 19.5 miles (113.5)

15 miles straight downhill is tough on the feet and knees! We descended from the San Jacintos today and crossed a sandy valley before starting back up into some other mountains.

Snow covered Mt San Jacinto

It was of course really hot and windy down on the desert floor. So windy they put a bunch of wind farms here. We’re camped next to one to tonight.

That’s about all I have the energy for to tonight. It was a thoroughly exhausting day.
