Tuesday May 9th

 cold slept late. It's mostly downhill today. My strategy was out run the polar vortex over Big Bear City. By mid afternoon I thought it was working beautiful sunny day not too hot.
By 6 p.m. I got off the trail found a place to put up the tent the wind was picking up temperature dropping and dark clouds filled the sky. Hiked 21 milesGood enough 7 p.m. I finished going over my maps of made my notes its raining and I'm going to sleep
