The first six miles were infested again with Poodle Dog Bush to a Rangers station and our next water source. The last two miles of this were also infested with a lot of poison oak. It\u2019s hard to keep track of all these poisonous things. At the Rangers station they had soft drinks for a dollar so we each had two.<\/p>\n<p>It was a pleasant but hot rest of the afternoon as we decended to the valley. We stopped at the Acton KOA campground and did laundry and had showers and our camping here tonight.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a lovely mild and calm evening. It\u2019s nice being camped on a lawn in perfectly flat ground.
