5-18 to 5-19 Vasquez Rocks and the Saufleys

Coyote, Far Out and me at the Saufleys

It was a nice 10 mile hike to the Saufleys from the KOA.  I started it at around 10:30am, hated the giant hill that started it off, then began to enjoy the trek down to the freeway.  There was a tunnel under the freeway shaped like the PCT logo where we all spent a few minutes cooling off.  There, we met some nice new folks who told us about a Mexican restaurant in Agua Dulce before the Saufleys' place.  With new motivation, I killed the last few miles with Coyote and we drank excellent margaritas with Grasshopper, who had hitched from the KOA to the grocery store.  

Vasquez Rocks

Walking into the trail angels' place, I saw Far Out, whom I thought had moved on, and was overjoyed.  The whole damned family together at last.  Somehow, I secured a cot and stayed awake comfortably under the stars.  Then, my sense of urgency removed, I took a zero to update this blog, rest my foot and generally enjoy the good company.
