We're here at the long-awaited Hiker Heaven; also known as the Saufley's home. To get here, we went through some incredible scenery in Vasquez Rocks. The rock structures are so wacky, you half expect dinosaurs to step out from behind them. This is where The Flintstones Movie was filmed and you can even see where they cleared the plants for their filming equipment. The trail turns into a long road-walk coming out of Vasquez Rocks and into the town of Agua Dulce. We got a few snacks and went to the local pizza place before heading up to the Saufley's home. The first thing you notice when you walk through the gate, is how incredibly efficient and organized they are. The garage is organized like a polling place. A bulletin board with an intro, procedures, and updated trail information. There are white tents with comfy cots set up. Bikes to rent for trips into town. Amazingly, a trailer for the hikers to make their breakfast and fresh coffee in, sit on the couch, and feel at home. The thing that we have most appreciated is that they practically have a post office operating in their garage and we were able to spend some time to redistribute our packages. Tomorrow, we head out to another trail angel home at the Anderson's, AKA Casa de Luna.
