The worst sections were towards the end of the desert, at one point I carried 9 liters of water for a 42 mile dry section. I walked at least half of so cal at night just because I could get away with carrying less water. Not really any bad animal encounters other than getting stung by a bee. No bears or cougars so far. I haven't read wild.

SoCal wasn't that bad. Only ~150 miles of I found miserable. It was cool going up to San Jacinto.
