Mile 452.9 - 454.4

We did a nero today. Hiking just a mile and a half into the town of Agua Dulce. This is the home of trail angels "The Saufley's". The Saufley's open there home to hundreds of hikers every year. They call it "Hiker Heaven". 
   So we hiked the one and a half miles into town. Stopped at a very expensive resupply market and walked to the Saufley's home which is a mile off trail. A kind neighbor offered us a ride. We were not even trying to hitch a ride.
   Once at the Saufley's we got shown around and signed up for the REI shuttle. Both Balance and I needed a few things.
   This is a rest day, so we did errands, resupplied, ate lots of food, and rested. Resting is the hard part. About 40 hikers are here tonight. Some in party mode. So we will see about sleep. It may be hard. Back on the trail early tomorrow.


Balance at our resupply store called 
"Sweetwater Farms". 


The Saufley's home, PCT trail angels. Balance and I stayed in the trailer on the right. Most camped in the yard.


This is only a faction of the hikers camping here tonight.
