Trail: The trail basically *is* Mission Creek for much of this section. I had planned to hike another 7-8 miles today, but I spent too much time trying to figure out where the trail went with all the creek crossings. I've been listening to Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things still, but I don't think it's a very good audiobook for hiking so I may save it for later.
People: Very few! I met Umiko on the trail and she's also camped in this spot, but we haven't gotten to talk much.
Campsite: Mission Springs trail camp (federal campground?). It's really just a trailhead, but there's a small stream nearby so I can get water in the morning without having to hike to the spring itself.
Tomorrow: I'll try to camp about six miles from Big Bear and then hike the last bit Friday morning.
