A much-needed rest day was taken here in Agua Dulce today. After arriving at Hiker Heaven yesterday lunchtime, Tom & I got to enjoy the wonderful hospitality of the legendary L-Rod, or Donna, as she is also known. All our clothes were washed & dried to near-new condition before we were kindly driven 30 minutes into a larger town by another Trail Angel, Bill, where we got to do a much needed gear shop at REI.
I'm hoping the new boots I picked up, with some fancy insoles, will prevent the near-crippling agony of collapsed arches I was experiencing for the previous few days.
Today, after a good sleep, we went down the road to the Sweetwater (Agua Dulce) café for a hearty breakfast with our trail-buddy Spencer (AKA Warpzilla). He was due to head out today, but decided he'd miss us too much, so ended up chilling with us the rest of the day, all of us judt sat watching movies in the trailer!!
So now, after a food resupply at the local supermarket, we are all packed up & ready to roll tomorrow at 0700.
More to come from the trail soon...
RWK.
Out.
