The Dude must abide

After a week of beers, jello shots, and white russians it is time to start hiking again! So long Casa de Luna.

Pictures!

Check out my trail journal to see pictures from the first weeks of my hike (I only have through Big Bear uploaded so far).

I've taken another day off at Casa de Luna.... so no news from the trail today!

Casa De Luna

Yesterday I slack-packed (using a car to carrying the majority of the pack weight) from Agua Dulce to the Anderson's. At 22 miles with less than full gear I had to move right along to make sure I wasn't caught out at night without my sleeping bag. I had bought new shoes, which caused a few new blisters, but nothing too bad.

The Anderson's have been hosting hikers for 9 years now. Terrie cooks breakfast and dinner for 20+ hikers nearly every day for the whole hiking season. They have a large back yard, with a manzanita groove for secluded camping sites. Unfortunately this is going to be the last family run hiker haven until Northern Washington, so I have to make sure I'm not getting too used to being spoiled!
