Slept pretty well last night on this very soft bed. Blowin' Sunshine and Shiggy shared the other bed.
Murph called at 7:20 a.m. to tell us that they were all staying another night. It was absolutely pouring out. The suspension bridge we crossed a couple days ago was under water, and someone coming south couldn’t cross one of the streams on the trail and had to go way out of his way to get around it. That was about all we needed to hear to make up our minds.
Murph decided to share our room, which is cool. And BS and Shiggy are still here, too. There was some guilt about taking a second zero day, especially when the sun came out late morning. But we had already booked the room for another night, so what can you do?
We hit the Italian pizzeria all-you-can-eat buffet when it opened at 11. Much better than the Chinese place. Dave didn't feel like doing much of anything afterward, but I needed to get out. So I walked to the library, then to Walmart. I bought my own pot, so now I’m almost fully independent.
We sent back our Whisperlite stove and are going with one of those homemade soda can jobs that burns denatured alcohol. It’s all about pack weight (reducing it).
Some people went out to play pool at the local pub, but I hung in the room. Watched the end of There’s Something about Mary and went to bed. Slept OK (too hot). This marks the first time that we've spent three nights in the same place.
