  • DAY 53 – One of those (down) days

    EN (for Czech scroll down): Since we organized a trail angel to give us a ride at 6am, we had to get up at 5am already. Super early I know. I took a quick shower hoping it would wake me up but no success. My feet were still quite sore so I took an ibuprofen.…

  • DAY 52 – Zero in Ridgecrest

    EN (for Czech scroll down): Aktér we got up we got our breakfast at Denny’s Dinner that was included. Today was supposed to be even hotter than yesterday so we did some planning in order to minimize the outdoor activities. I had to get some food for the next stretch and surprisingly I could get…

  • DAY 51 – New Shoes

    EN (for Czech scroll down): Last night was pretty busy once again. I could hear a chipmunk or something cruising around my tent so I was probably half asleep the whole night worrying about my tent. At 3am I even thought I would already start hiking rather than “sleeping” two more hours. In the end…

  • DAY 50 – 1 000km done!

    EN (for Czech scroll down): Another morning where we got up at 4:30am because it was supposed to be another hot day. It was quite windy in the morning which didn’t make leaving our quilts easier but well it had to be done. After 800m we refilled our water bottles and this time we had…

  • DAY 49 – 9miles before 9am

    EN (for Czech scroll down): So while you’re out there on trail there are different chllenges such as the 24-hour challenge, the McDonald’s challenge or the 9 miles before 9am challenge. That means that you do 9 miles (14,4km) before 9am and because today we got up at 4:30am that’s exactly what we managed to…

  • DAY 48 – Last week in the desert section

    EN (for Czech scroll down): Today we got up early (5:30am) because from now onwards the weather forecast shows 30+ degrees Celsius with Friday and Saturday reaching 40 degrees. Insane. Happy I got a SPF 100. It wasn’t as windy today which was both good and bad. Good because I did not fly away, bad…

  • DAY 47 – Almost flying

    EN (for Czech scroll down): This morning we were able to get a ride from the same trail angel that drove us to Tehachapi two days ago. I must say this town was the best one yet when it comes to the kindest trail angels. Our packs were yet again quite heavy with all the…

  • DAY 46 – Zero in Tehachapi

    EN (for Czech scroll down): Today although we had our zero day we got up quite early (read 7am) because Joe’s girlfriend Rihanna would give us a ride to local Walmart at 8am. At least we can get my least favorite activity – resupply – done as soon as possible. Before heading to the lion’s…

  • DAY 45 – There is a hot tub!

    EN (for Czech scroll down): The wind thankfully calmed down for most of the night so we were able to get some sleep after the long day we had. It was only 8.8 miles (14 km) to get to the road where we could get a hitch to Tehachapi – our next zero town. Before…

  • DAY 44 – The aftermath of our night hike

    EN (for Czech scroll down): At 5am we were up again after just 4 hours of sleep. Surprisingly I wasn’t that tired but it was still dark and quite chilly so after we packed everything, we got going again just so we could keep ourselves warm. The glow sticks were still glowing but soon we…
