Rained briefly during the late evening before clearing and cooling, with bright moon and stars. Folks driving in set up 8 or 9 tents, popular place. We got moving by 8am, at roadside shortly after 11, then had to wait for the shuttle to the Blue Dog Art Cafe hostel. 9 miles down and around the mountains, dramatic difference with spring in full bloom down here. Hostel opened just two years ago, upstairs from the cafe. A bit primitive but hot showers and convenient location. The existence of all these private hostels is a huge change from 1982, when there were only a few, plus several church run ones.
