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.
