And on to Casa de Luna...

I've finally worked out what the difference between a spigot and a faucet is. Well, somebody explained it to me and to be honest I'm still not convinced. Anyway, a faucet is apparently inside while a spigot is outside. The two seem pretty interchangable in conversation. Just 'like' how 'you know' generation Y kids using  there, there and there for there, their and they're... For some reason people look at me strangely when I ask for clarification if we are actually looking for a faucet or a spigot!?



A part of the PCT was closed to help conserve an endagered frog. So we had to do some road walking...




It was like being on the set of Top Gear! Lots of amazing cars and bikes including even an AMG Mercedes SLS! 


Eugene enjoying some trail magic!






Lightning. 

Not a good place to sit and eat your pop tarts for breakfast... Trust me!

Lindsay (Moonshine) and Tom from Redfern. 

Smiles. 

The look on a day camper when we explained where we sleep at night..!

Jim at Coppertone's van where we got spiders! (Root beer floats here)

Clare and Phil. Phil is overcoming serious body image issues. We have to photograph his derriere periodically to assure him it is still there! 
 
Dancing Naked (aka Wabi Sabi)

We caught '2 Mile' Kyle leaving as we got to the Acton K.O.A. 

Logan. 


Ben. 

Hot tub bonding. 

Jim spent WAY to much time in the hot tub. 


This is Wolf. Wolf walked the Camino de Santiago in 2014. He came home to a drawer full of socks and thought what the hell do i need all these socks for!? Now he's on the PCT... 


R.I.C.E. Well, two out of four ain't bad...

Wolf. 

Critter. 

Boxcar. 

Lightning. 

Phil. 

Mike. 

Hikers hitting the KoA. 

Eugene and Arthur and the ABC tv crew. 

Agua Dulce... A real one horse town...

A happy hiker with ice cream. 

Another happy hiker with ice cream. 

Vasquez Rocks, where Planet Of The Apes and a famous episode of Star Trek were filmed.

Casa de Luna. Run by the Anderson's this place is Hiker Heaven (controversial I know!) 

Liz playing God (badly)... Xx

At Casa de Luna. 

...

A smart device dazzling hikers. 

Again, picture heavy but it is hard to ride the wifi at every oppurtunity. Just as it's hard to get a power socket at any place civilised enough to have electricity. 

So as I sit at Casa de Luna preparing myself for the upcoming desert section, I wish I could tell you more about what I am experiencing. As Benjamin put it "it's like a five month music festival. We've just replaced the music with hiking...!"

Night people xx
