Film Set

Today was amazing. We got up early so that we wouldn’t have to hike in the heat and it was perfect. The views got better and better the closer we got to Vasquez Rocks aka where they filmed Star Trek. We hiked about 10 trail miles total with a couple extra miles around town.

AH (the designated geology guy) told me some of his theories about how the rock formations came to be.

I basically felt like I was in a Star Trek episode all morning.

We even climbed to the top of Vasquez Rocks.

I was on that little point up there at the tippy top.

We got into town before 10 and got breakfast before heading to the store and then to hiker heaven.

Wahoo, Legs, and P hanging out at hiker heaven waiting for dinner time so we could go to the Mexican restaurant for tacos. Legs had also just gotten an invitation to be on the show Naked and Afraid…

I got my resupply box and immediately started eating from it even though we had just gotten back from breakfast. I took a shower and got my laundry ready to be washing (for the second time in two days!). I also mailed some stuff home to lighten my pack a little.

These are the chickens that roam around hiked heaven. The rooster attacked me. Twice. All I wanted was to get into my tent. I have a scratch on my inner thigh to prove it.
