We are sitting at the Sunrise Trailhead where, thanks to trail angels there is 3 gallons of clean water. We stopped at 11:00 when the temperature in the sun was 113.5 degrees. Here in the shade of the Pit Toilet building it is 68.5 degrees. We will stay here until 2:00 or 3:00 when we will head out to look for a campsite around the Rodriguez Spur Truck Trail.
This morning after realizing the sun screen on my legs just wasn't cutting it, I borrowed a trick from our friend Jason (Stretch/Sarong) and attached the groundcloth of our tent around my backpack to drape over my legs. The shade it provides helps cool me down and reduces the risk of sunburn.
