The day we dry camped (day four)

The weather cleared and after a nice microwaved breakfast burrito we headed off for a 21mi/33.6km day. Some amazing views of the desert (now that we could see more than 30 meters), and a nice rest in a shady picnic area with a desert fox dropping by for some snacks. He was not having any of my snacks. They're mine. My precious. Got passed by Tribhu (we all thought it had something to do with trees and scaring people, tree-boo is what it sounds like), and we get congratulated about 40 times by a large group of elderly day hikers. Not for doing the PCT, for being from NZ and the UK.  They seemed excited for us. Later we decided to skip a water source and dry camp (no water sources nearby) so rationed the water, not the best but we got through and only had to hike 4mi to get to the next source in the morning.
