and here we go...

ok, matt W.'s pack came in and now we are waiting for the heat to die down and we will be hitting the trail around 4:00pm today!!! YEAH!!! 6 days in julian has left me extreamly ready to get back on the trail, booth in mind and body. i'm nolonger sore at all and am super amped to be hiking again. don't get me wrong, julian is an awesome small town, and everyone here has been super kind to us. i guess if we had to be stuck somewhere, this is a great place to be. we will probably hike 14 miles today/night and stop at a water cache and make camp. as soon as i fill up my memory card i will send it to my sister rebekah so she can upload all of the pic.s so far. hope everyone is doing great and i'll write more when i have somthing cool to talk about. peace--M.J.
