The windmills have a soothing sound that makes me want to stay.   Posted via email from Cindigo’s Posterous

This is a good place for a wind farm. It’s windy here!   Posted via email from Cindigo’s Posterous

We’re leaving Mojave after a later than we wanted start and a on the fly dog rescue. Someone dumped this adorable puppy and it followed us. Art, who we met at the post office took the dog, now named Cindy in my honor, but it’s not an ideal situation for Art or the puppy. After [...]

Another sweet wind farm in the distance.  We’re almost done for the day. Tomorrow, Mojave and Taco Bell!   Posted via email from Cindigo’s Posterous

This cabin, about 50 feet off of the PCT is almost completely wallpapered with hard-core pornography on the inside!   Posted via email from Cindigo’s Posterous

Thanks to the anonoymous hiker that left the bags of oatmeal and raisins in the hiker boxes. I’m really looking forward to breakfast.  Andy is 100% and we’re both extremely relieved and happy. Depending on where we decide to hitch into town, it’s either 20 0r 28 miles into Mojave. We’ll probably do the 28 [...]

I can’t tell you how good it is to have an appetite again.   Posted via email from Cindigo’s Posterous

We’ve made it to the aquaduct and instead of the usual 95 and sunny, it’s 70 and drizzling.  Awesome.   Posted via email from Cindigo’s Posterous

I’d like to thank those responsible for helping me to get the meds. I’m not naming names, since I’m sure some regulations were overlooked in the process!  I’d also like to thank Big Pharmacutical for developing Tindamax, my new favorite antibiotic.  We’re leaving Hikertown. We’ll miss it a lot, but the weather is to great [...]

Unfortunately I forgot who they’re saying “hi” to. Something like Bad Guy or Bad Man.  Anyway, you know who you are and they say “Hi!”   Posted via email from Cindigo’s Posterous

Six more miles until Hiker Town Hostel. Through friends of friends we have obtained Flagyl. It should be at the hostel tomorrow morning. (friend of friend, we have a giant debt of gratitude to pay to you. Name your price (or poison) and it is yours.)  Past PCT through hikers have given me some very [...]

Something tells me we’re back in the desert.   Posted via email from Cindigo’s Posterous

Good news and bad!  As you can probably tell, we’ve made it 500 miles. Hoorah for us.  After a little research that I should have done sooner, I seem to have just about every symptom of Giardia. To add to the comedy of errors, it turns out that the antibiotic that we’ve been carrying for [...]

We just finished this weeks podcast, it should be up soon. We decided to take a nap for awhile and try to ignore all the gnats and biting flies that seem to have it out for us.   After Andy had me convinced he was getting better, he just took the first pill of our ermergency [...]

15 miles down and we’re going to do some night hiking. We might even make it to the aquaduct!   Posted via email from Cindigo’s Posterous

It’s going to be really, really hard to leave tomorrow morning.   Posted via email from Cindigo’s Posterous

We awoke this morning to a major ant event. They had completely covered my shoes inside and out. These are not your ordinary ants, either. They are big, biting, insanely tenacious beasts.  After a couple hours we are mostly rid of them, but at some cost to both us and the colony. In the most [...]

Seriously, though, these pine cones are ridiculously large and heavy. They may be the most dangerous thing on the PCT.  -a   Posted via email from Cindigo’s Posterous
