The trail out of Silverwood started off pretty mellow but quickly started going up. As we ascended we got better and better views of Silverwood lake behind us. Everyone was looking forward to the mcdonalds that was near where the trail crossed under I 15. Our mouths watered as we talked about what all we were going to get once we got there. We got the top a hill that gave way to sweeping views of cajon pass and the mountains ahead. I ribbon of freeway and railroad track ran right through the middle. It was incredible to see how much traffic there was. After a four mile descent to the freeway the noise from all the cars grew louder. At the interstate it was only a 1/2 mile walk to mcdonalds. I was excited, but I couldn't stand the noise from the traffic on the trail you get so used to quiet that the sound of a freeway cam be overwhelming. Once at mcdonalds I got a modest order of a premium chicken sandwich, fries, drink, two apple pies, a hot and spicy, a six piece chicken nugget, and a fruit and yogurts parfait. Oh and a sausage biscuit to pack out for breakfast the next morning because apparently mcdonalds serves breakfast alk day now!? It was fun watching the excitement of hikers as they walked in from the trail. A strange thing happened when I was oredering.Floyd Mayweather and his entourage of about 20 people rolled up to McDonald's, probably on their way to Vegas from LA. He only got out of his van once to take a picture with some kids, but it was entertaining to watch scrawny homeless looking hikers out order mayweather's 7 ft tall 350+ pound body gaurds. We probably hung out at that Mcdonald s for at least 3 hours. Sarah and I finally hit the trail around 6 pm and decided to not hike out. We planned on only going a few miles, but there were zero campsites as the trail was a pretty steep ridge. We ended up doing way more miles than we intended, but it was amazing to watch the clouds roll in from up high. The clouds were mostly blocked by the mountains except at the where they shot through like a canon. I watched in awe as an almost perfectly straight line of clouds blew through the pass in the moonlight. I had never seen anything like it. We ended up doing 27 miles that day/night, my biggest day yet, but it was after midnight when we finished so I was exhausted. Day 24 - 27 mikes
