It was very nice sleeping in a bed last night in our own private room. It does feel like we get some unfair privileges as a couple. Everyone else was just tenting in the yard in the dirt next to horses or Portapotties and we got a nice bed and room to ourselves! There was definitely a level of guilt for us.
After getting up, Wolf Bird and I went to get breakfast in town. I wasn’t really feeling any of the breakfast food on the menu but was delighted when the waiter said it was an open menu and I could order my chicken fingers and fries even though it was 9AM! We enjoyed our meal and spent the rest of the morning and early afternoon packing up our stuff and obviously eating more food.
Wolf Bird also found a monocular in the hiker box that allowed him to spy on people and get a super up close look at them from far away. He had a lot of fun playing around with it before we left town.
We headed out at the same time as a lot of other hikers and had a big uphill climb to start us off. It went by pretty quickly and it was nice to walk and chat with some new hikers for a bit. We didn’t have a set destination for the evening and ending up settling for some semi flat spots on a ridge. Wolf Bird and I went against trail etiquette and camped right in the trail as it was the only really flat spot we could find. Yote and two point toe made sure to take a photo to document our wrongdoing.
