October 25

We were able to leave Casa de Luna around 10 am. We were up early this morning to make a trip to the store and grab some pre-breakfast necessities like coffee and donuts. I had 1500 calories before pancakes this morning. We all took a picture in front of the 2013 PCT class banner and were taken to the trailhead. It was a warm day, but the terrain wasn't too challenging and my pack was almost completely devoid of food and really light. Terrie went ahead of us and replenished the water caches, something we are all grateful for at this point. We made it to Agua Dulce and headed straight for the local pizza place. After getting our fix on food we headed to the Saufley's "Hiker Haven" where we are spending the night. This place is run in a regular organized and orderly fashion. It has everything we need and everything a hiker would want. The SoCal trail angels are the best!
