Mile 444.3 to Mile 454.7 (Serenity's Oasis)

I spent a couple hours wandering through Vasquez Rocks (used in a lot of films and tv shows, such as when Captain Kirk fights the Gorn), then decided to stay at Serenity's Oasis on the edge of Agua Dulce to set myself up to camp by water for the next several nights. I ran into some hikers I'd met before (Kyle; Rainbow Cloud, Dracula, & crew) and met a few new hikers (Quaillista; Gummy Bears and Babyface). It's a new hiker oasis run out of Farmer John and family's back lot, but they've done a nice job setting it up with amenities: real bathroom, hot showers with towels and stuff provided, washer/dryer, small resupply shop, hammocks, shady tables, etc. The Mexican restaurant only had indoor seating and the pizza place was closed, but there was a vegan Thai restaurant that was very good.
