Day 30 – Mile 427 to Mile 444.3 LA RV Resort 

Saturday, May 23, 2026. Sunny, 54 going up to 75.

Up at 5:20. On trail at 6:08. We have 17.4 miles in the desert to get to the RV Resort that  offers tenting and showers and a pool for $30. Lots of people headed there. Then on Sunday morning we have 10 flat, nasty desert miles into the small town of Agua Dulce. We plan to get in there by 10:00 a.m., resupply, and chill all day.

Started the morning with a 2.7-mile steep ascent. Got a cool view down into the clouds. I’m calling this “Islands in the sky”.

Stopped for water at 8:20 and 5.0 miles. Just a boring day with lots of miles to knock out.

Filtered water and took a break in the shade at 12:09 and 13.4 miles. We have an ugly 4 more miles of hot desert to the RV Park.

Got to camp at 2:10 and 17.5 miles at LA RV Resort near Acton, CA. A bit dumpy, but I’ve stayed at worse campgrounds. Showers, expensive food, cold soda, ice cream, swimming pool! 

Just chilled all afternoon and evening. Had a double hamburger at the camp store for late lunch. Probably make a small dinner at some point. WiFi is only at the camp store area and no cell service. 

Nice easy day with tons of hikers to socialize with. Got another even easier day tomorrow. Woo hoo!
