Hiked in from the Bradford Ridge trail. Maybe 6 cars parked there. It was around 10. Took me about 1 hour to hike in to the springs. It seems most of the people that I talked to had parked at Castro's place and only paid 5 dollars. I talked to one couple who had parked at the new place and paid the 10.00. For me 5 at Castro's is the bargain. Anyway , I paid 0. Very nice crowd, mostly young and maybe 50/50 nude, which was nice. Shared some wine with 3 cool guys and basically just hung out with beautiful women all day. Anyway, hiked out about 3 and it took me about 1 hour 20 to get to the car. That steep hill is a pain in the ass, slipperier than crap to get in and a bitch to climb up. The rest of the trail is beautiful. I guess there is a way to avoid the steep part and I had a guy tell me how. I tired that once before and ended up missing the spot to turn and ended up at the bridge 4 miles the wrong way up the PCT. I was afraid to try it again. Maybe next time.
