Hidden trail more or less the standard way: ~8k. We went out the coco trail and came back on the dirty road. The heavens must've had a message of peace and harmony writ in them because from the very beginning everyone was perfect. They waited for me to cross doce and were more or less in a little cloud around me the entire run. We got barked at on the way out at the end of the coco trail by the dogs that hang out near the HoJo and nobody flinched. Floyd had to throw himself under some bushes a few times on the way to the ocean, but I brought a 1.5 liter bottle of water this time instead of the usual 1 liter so I spread it around liberally and everyone was fine. The ocean has a steep drop-off right near the shore, which led Xmul to discover the art of the cannon-ball (she is a natural). Everyone listened well, stayed with me, kept up and had a good time.
