Cowboy camping was so much better than sleeping at the KOA campground. I slept well.
There was a heavy dew last night, so my sleeping bag was wet on top. I was going to recharge my phone one last time, but my charger was out of power! This has never happened before so I was worried that perhaps it had gotten wet with dew.
I left camp at 5:45 and headed towards the San Francisquito Valley Road, about 10 miles away. If my battery backup has died, then I would have to figure out how to replace it. I knew that Casa de Luna was a short way down the road, so I decided to go there to try to recharge it.
When I got to the road, Terry Anderson, the owner of Casa de Luna, was waiting! There were three other hikers who also got a ride.
Casa de Luna is very unique. Hikers camp behind the house in a manzanita forest. This was my campsite.
There were little signs along the path. I took the high road.
I liked this sign on the gate.
And there was this sign too.
I plugged in my battery backup and let it charge all afternoon. I guess I had just used all the power!
More hikers arrived during the day and there was quite a crowd.
I helped out by washing dishes from the previous day.
There was plenty of beer so everyone was having a good time. For dinner they served a large taco salad. Yummy!
I am camped at Casa de Luna at PCT mile 478,6.

Sorry for the wait. Google finally let me into blogger to edit. Dunno about gmail yet. NYC was great, if exhausting, so today is a restful day close to home. We may take a picnic dinner out to the beach if the weather stays good. And then home tomorrow! It sounds like you are really settling into trail life. I love you. <3
Looks like a cool spot!
Are manzanitas trees?
Sleep well. Can hardly believe you are nearing 500 miles in four small weeks! Truly, Dad, you are amazing!
Love you!
