Trail Angels Joe and Terri Anderson host hikers at their home 'Casa de Luna' otherwise known as 'Hippie Daycare.'. We got a glimpse of what we would find at their home when we came to the water cache they maintain 8 miles from their home. It was in some shady trees with a pink flamingo, inflated skeleton, a Frankenstein, & fake palm trees. There was water and soda in the cache. It was interesting on the hike over how one minute I'd be in dry, hot, desert conditions and the next be in a mini eco system of lush grasses, trees, and shrubs. We got a ride for the two miles to the Andersons from the trail. Once here we were greeted with clapping from hikers already here. There is a lounge area in the front yard with chairs, a charging station, rock painting, hoola hoops and more Camping is in a Manzanita grove in the backyard. The grove is huge and there are a lot of spots to set up camp. Don't let me forget the Hawaiian shirts. There's a pile of them and everyone is wearing one. Didn't I say yesterday we were a traveling gypsy camp? It really feels like it here. For dinner Terri will be making her famous taco salad. There will be games too. I'm hiking out early though. It's supposed to be cool and drizzly tomorrow and I want to take advantage of it to get some big miles in. I'm looking forward to possibly meeting friends in Lancaster and Tehachapi.
Digging the hiker tan!
