Idan found a good deal for a different hotel room for tonight, using booking.com. so we checked out of our room, and headed out to the nearby Lake of the Stars outfitters. They have a very nice room for hikers, with snacks and coffee, and they give you sodas, and a lot of information about the town, and a list of local trail angels.

The day was a bit longer than our usual day. But it was mostly easy short ups and downs.

After a long night’s sleep, we finally got up and started our day. Neon and I went to the hotel’s cafe, and had great breakfast burritos. We also got our laundry back, and I encountered Sandie’s cat, Fiddle, as she was stalking the grass. She was very friendly and felt so soft. Second cat on the trail. May there be many more.

What a surprising day. We got rained on during half of it.

We did the unbelievable, and left a trail town on the afternoon, despite being tempted to lay around in an over priced motel room for another day.
