On a whim, my friend Steve and I decided to backpack camp in Pt. Reyes National Seashore at one of the four camp sites. Luck was on our side: we arrived as the doors opened at the ranger station and secured the very last reservation available (Glen Camp), and the fog stayed well off the coast our entire stay. After a 4.6 mile hike-in to the site, we took the trail to the beach to Alamere Falls, and then back. My favorite part was falling asleep watching the stars and listening to all the animal sound around us. The next day we (I) limped home with plenty of blisters and pulled muscles, which just means I need more practice.
