Coming out of Warner Springs has some of the best scenery we've seen yet. We walked through meadows and between oak and cottonwood trees for about five miles until we got to small mountains with a winding Creek between them. We were shooting for a campsite at 127 that ended up being better than we could have imagined. We got to the site, Mike's Place, and found that the owner and caretaker have been hosting hikers for years. They had fresh watermelon for us and cooked pizza in a brick oven a former stonemason thru hiker had built for them. We stayed up late (9:00) eating and talking around a bonfire, and tomorrow morning we will get a pancake breakfast.
