What a day. Got up with the sun as usual and badass comes strolling by. It seems she wasn't able to take a zero at the Saufleys and hiked to the water cache at the road. She was hiking with a guy who had hiked the trail before and her suggested we take a short cut to the Andersons.
The Andersons is another trail angel hostel but the cater more to the party crowd. I got talked into going since they cook breakfast there and we might make it if we take the short cut. I made it just after breakfast. Mrs Anderson was kind enough to cook us up some pancakes anyway. Their place was very cool. The camping was in these tree groves in their backyard which almost gave you a separate room feel.
I didn't stay, Mrs Anderson was doing a water cache resupply ruin and offered to drive me 10 miles down the detour road to a restaurant. I grabbed lunch there and another hitch to hikertown for the rest of the detour. The detour was for a bad fire that happened last year.
Hikertown is an interesting place it looks like an old west town from the movies but it's hiker themed. Also there were puppies.
I stayed at Hikertown until 5 before hiking on. The next stretch was a long desert floor hike along the Los Angeles aqueduct. Even though we were hiking the aqueduct there was no water available for almost 30 miles. Which is why everyone night hikes out of Hikertown. The hike was easy enough since we were road walking again so I made really good time.
