Rick had a good day of hiking yesterday. He got 20 miles in. The trail was marked well and the temps. were down, only in the mid 70s. He saw a little wildlife-snakes, a lot of lizards, Jack rabbits, a coyote and a heard of antelope.   I dropped him off at his starting point at 7:00 this morning and  won't see him now until Saturday night. He will keep in touch with me using his satellite phone.
