Once again, I'm back in the desert. However this time, I'm at a true oasis! Welcome to "Hiker Heaven" in Agua Dulce, CA (www.hikerheaven.com). Jeff and Donna Saufley are true trail angels, devoting most of thier summers to hosting hikers in a sort of backyard trail camp. There are huge tents with cots, showers, a tv, fire pit, computers w/ internet, garage post office, and rides to REI in north LA. They even supply you with loaner clothes while they do your laundry. It blows my mind to think that they care that much about us "hiker trash". It's good people like the Saufleys that keep us sane through the ups and downs of the trail. There are probably about 20 hikers here at the moment and at any time they can host up to 50. Great to see lots of familiar faces from the last month and even to meet some new friends. Stay tuned tomorrow for a full blog update and two new sets of pictures.
Love you all!

  1. Cody, that is cool that there are people that are willing to help out like that! That is a lot of work to take care of that many people day in a day out. I am glad you are making a few friends along the way. It is nice to be able to sit and chat with them for an evening or two. I am sure the majority of the hikers are great people. Your Old Man said that your knees are doing better and you have been racking up the miles, that is great!
    See Ya
