First off, I would like to thank all of you for the emails and words of encouragement and interest in this project. It's been a great support to me and motivation to keep going.
Now, the trip. I will be traveling with Matt Hall, one of my friends from HP. We'll be doing an abbreviated version of the trail, since we only have Saturday and Sunday, and I would like to reach the beach.
We will be driving out Friday night and placing one car at Waddell Beach and then driving a second car back to the Waterman Gap Campground. We'll start out from Waterman Gap Saturday, just outside of Big Basin in Castle Rock State Park. From there we have a 9.8 mile hike to Jay Campground, by the Big Basin Headquarters. From there we have a 13.3 mile hike to Waddell Beach and the end of the trail, 1200' down from Waterman Gap. Near the bottom we have the option of taking a short loop to see some gorgeous waterfalls at the bottom.
A map of Big Basin can be found here. A map of Castle Rock State Park, where Waterman Gap is, can be found here.
