"Better Than A Lop-sided Mountian!!!"

well after a few days on the trail, i'm already home. Someone stole my phone, my compass, my camera, both trail guidebooks, my harmonica, my headlamp and flashlight, and my sunglasses. they stole a whole bag off the side of my pack. so i'll be home until trailfest begins next month when i'll have to start all over and attach myself to someone as far north as Warner Springs in order to continue on my own. So i have no phone! I did run into an illegal immigrant on the trail. once he saw me he looked like a deer caught in the headlights. he looked like he was about to run. he uttered something about his friends and turned around from the way he came. once i assured him i wasn't immigration he regarded me with suspicion, gave me a wide birth and walked around me. I did give him a piece of the beef jerky i was eating to at least put something in his stomach even if he did get caught and deported. I rolled my left ankle 3 times and my right one once. found a tick on me, ran into some border patrol who also regarded me with a suspicious eye and wished me luck. I didn't make it into the Hauser canyon and wilderness before nightfall so i had to sleep on the side of the trail on the mountain at a very wierd angle so i didn't get much sleep. I also had about 26 oz of water left when i went to sleep so the next morning, about 6 miles short of the next available water source, i rationed my water carefully to last me down the mountain, through the valley, up the next mountain, over it, and down the other side. By the time i got to Lake Mornea I was dehydrated and tired. I had planned on sleeping there but alas, someone decided to be a thief and ruin the whole adventure so far. I had to come home to replace a few lost items, but have no fear, I shall return and complete it!!! So tonight i have to sleep in my sister's bed while she sleeps in my moms bed with her. When i asked my mom if i have to sleep in Ana's bed, she said,"Yeah, but at least it's better than a lop-sided mountian!!!"
