What's Another 5 miles...

Walking along the PCT (shown at left) through a town called Warner Springs, you can detour off and see the famous rock formation of an eagle.  Every journal, blog, and book has a photo of it, so of course, we needed one for Ted's photo memorabilia.

According to Google, traveling from the Pacific Crest Trail to Eagle Rock is a moderately easy, 5.5 mile hike in Cleveland National Forest that will take about 3 hours to complete.  I am glad Ted ventured over there to grab this photo - what's 5 miles out of your way when you are traveling 530 times that amount in total... you can just barely see his backpack above the random red strip that was sent with his photo.  Way to go Scarecrow :)

This was sent by Ted to my phone: ENJOY

~~ June 6 2011. Its about 8:10 pm and I just crawled into my sleeping bag. It was a good day today. The muscles don't hurt anymore. The town stop into Julian definitely rested my body. I was only going to go 13 miles today out of Scissors Crossing - when I hit that point, it was still mid afternoon, so I made my dinner and kept going 4 more miles. I'm at 95 miles. Looking forward to hitting 100 miles tomorrow. I'm going to go. I'll talk to you soon. I might not call you tomorrow, because I think I'm going to go past Warner Springs. Something really cool for tomorrow, I'm going to that eagle rock that I showed you in Yogi's book. That is at 106.6 miles. I'll take a picture with the phone and send it to you. I Love You and please tell the kids I love them and give them hugs and kisses. SCARECROW
