The hiking is going well but the energy levels at the end of the day for blogging have been non-existent. I am currently sitting underneath the overpass at Scissors Crossing waiting for the sun to sink lower before starting a long climb up out of the valley. Currently 82 here in the shade and slightly above 90 out there in the sun. A bit of wind is providing relief but still pretty darn hot on those sandy slopes. The weather report is hinting that we might be flirting with upper 90s over the next week.

Might write more later but if you want a slightly more consistent flow of trip updates follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/reedmaniac
