I think most people, if they start early in the day, try to get at least
as far as Hauser Creek. Those who camp before that probably started
later in the day.

You will have different challenges in the open desert. Instead of thick
undergrowth, you will have huge rocks strewn about everywhere. There are
places in the desert where it is hard to find a place to camp, but
around mile 11 shouldn't be bad.
