June 4. Well, SoCal is going through a heatwave. Nice timing for us. We'll head back to Thule Canyon this afternoon and night hike to the Paradise Cafe. It's crazy to try to hike during the day. Then on and up to Idyllwild where the elevation should give us a break in the temp. Plus it's supposed to get cooler after today.

Headed back to where we left off for the zero at Abbey and Alex's. Thule Canyon truck road. We walked about a mile of the road so Mrs. Weasley didn't have to 4-wheel it in the twilight. ​

Our plan was to reach Hwy 74 and Paradise Cafe. About 2:00 am we faded and lay down for a short snooze. Only an hour and 15 minutes before I woke shivering. I hadn't been prepared to bivouac. Next we'll plan for a 4 hour snooze break when we night hike. But the temperature was great for hiking.

We both noticed that time really slows while night hiking.

Finally it was dawn and we made Hwy 74 then walked another mile to the Paradise Cafe where Susan picked us up for a day of sleep in camp.  So Day 12 bleeds into Day 13.
