Day 11 (Mile 155.5 - Mile 166.5)

Start Location: 155.5 (Near Hwy 74)


Finish Location: 166.6 Miles (About a mile from Fobes Saddle near Cedar Springs)

Daily Mileage: 11 miles

Total Miles: 166.5 Miles

Miles To Finish: 2493.5 Miles

On Wednesday, Dave - along with Team Far Sight - started their ascent on Mt. San Jacinto, although they knew it would be a few days until they got there.

It was a day of climbing and wind.  The wind report indicated the wind was blowing at about 109 MPH, as measured at the Palm Springs Tram location.  So the group called it quits after 11 miles.  They ended up camping on top of a mountain in severe winds.  Although Dave was concerned of the cold and his tent flying away because there was not much protection, it was an uneventful night.

All in all, though, the group was in good spirits and looking forward to another day.
