We woke up today and walked the rest of the way to the water cache. It was about 6 miles away. It was so hot that we decided that we are going to change our sleeping schedule and do something different.
We stayed at the cache, set up our tent, then went by the water cache box and put our legs under the shadow from the box and our sun umbrellas up over our faces. We covered our mid section with tie back and just laid there.
It was a little breezy so it was nice even though it was so hot. We hadn’t eaten much over the past few days so we made a couple meals, relaxed, and I took care of my blisters. They were hurting me so bad that when I was hiking I was limping and whimpering like a sad puppy. Sometimes I was almost in tears, not because I wanted to cry but because my eyes were welling up with tears because it was so painful. I popped some of them, put neosporin on them, and let them sit out of my socks all day so that they could breathe. I need different shoes and need to figure out something different for my desert hike. These New Balance shoes are just ripping to shreds.
We are in bed now (early) because we will be getting up in the morning early.
