It wasn’t hard waking up at the KOA Campground this morning. If the traffic wasn’t loud enough, then the train and its infernal whistle were. I finally gave up and started packing up just after 5 AM. I was on the move by 6:40.
Aqua Dulce and Serenity Oasis are the targets for today. I should be there around noon. I’m going to see which is better – the KOA Campground or Farmer John’s Serenity Oasis.
The trail was obvious. Up and down. It led under a very busy highway 14 and eventually into the town of Aqua Dulce. I went over to Serenity Oasis about 1 PM. I was the only one there except for a vagrant masquerading as a hiker. I plugged in my phone and tended to some personal matters and then updated my journal.
Other hikers started arriving before 3 PM. As a matter of fact, quite a few hikers came into the area. At 7 PM, I counted 17 tents and I probably missed one or two.
Serenity Oasis is just a big lot with plenty of camping room. They have a toilet, outdoor shower and covered areas for relaxing. It’s a toss up between between Serenity Oasis and the KOA.
