Day 15

0 miles

In the morning, we went to the post office to get our bounce box, dropped off our disgusting laundry, and then grabbed breakfast. I needed a new water filter so we went to Nomad Adventures to get some replacement gear. For lunch, we hit up the Idyllwild Brewpub for nachos and a giant pretzel (and beers, of course). Did the bulk of our resupply at the market before heading back to the room. Picked up the laundry on our way back and got excited to have clothes that don’t stink anymore. I had packed hair clippers in the bounce box, so I cut my hair. More pizza and salad for dinner. Tomorrow we’ll need to get the remaining food for our resupply, mail out the bounce box, eat breakfast, get a hitch to the trailhead, and then hike back up to the PCT. Town has been nice. Resting our legs, but getting some short walks in periodically throughout the day seems to be helping. Looking forward to hitting the 200 mark this week!
