Hippy Daycare

May 14th, 2012
Day 44
Today's Miles: 0

It is a wonderful morning at Casa de Luna.




We slept in a little and woke up just in time for coffee and pancakes! These pancakes were awesome! They added a little cinnamon and vanilla for an extra kick of flavor.




We took the rest of the day to enjoy the beautiful weather and great company.






Remember those caterpillars that were hatching... They still are everywhere.



Hawaiian shirts are mandatory at Casa de Luna. Above you can see some of the boys making their way to the near by convenience store. Beer, ice cream, Gatorade, and chips were purchased in large quantities here.



Here you can see our spot in the manzanita forest. The forest seemed enchanted back there. It was code named "Narnia".




Now the highlight of Casa de Luna has been the wonderful people and great hospitality. However, taco salad comes in as a close second. We had taco salad twice, but never got a picture because we were so excited each time it was served.

There is a very specific technique to building your taco salad. Mrs. Anderson gave us the run down the first night. Taco salad consists of chips, beans, ground beef, rice, lettuce, sour cream, salsa, jalapeƱos, olives and cheese all layered on top of each other! Awesome!

Hopefully we will escape the vortex tomorrow morning. We have many more miles ahead and now understand all the whispers about how this place can suck a hiker in for days...
