Mile 469-478 Spunky Canyon to The Anderson's

 Took a while to leave our campsite as everything was damp. Must be something to do with the lake nearby. Waited till the sun came up enough to dry off our tent and sleeping bags. Uneventful hike to San Francisquito Canyon Road where we got a ride immediately from a passing fireman. 

As we got out of the car, we got a round of applause from all the hikers sitting and reclining in the Anderson's front yard. Tracy bowed and I did the Queen's wave. They were all very friendly/happy/drunk/stoned. This applause and hooting goes on all day and night as new hikers arrive. We then pulled up a couple of cushions, slammed half a bottle of tequila, and smoked a couple of bowls..... Actually, what we really did was find a camp spot in the manzanita forest at the back of their home, have a shower and secure a plastic basin to hand wash some laundry. We did go to the store to pick up some lunch items and some beer. Ran into Goku, a japanese hiker whom we have been teaching English to. 

Right now we are relaxing in our tent under the manzanita trees wearing loaner Hawaiian shirts.

Boy, I bet Goku really appreciates someone on the trail who speaks some
Japanese and you two have so much experience teaching English to Japanese speakers as well. Love, Mom
