Day 49

0 Miles

Mom pampered us with laundry, home-cooked meals, and all sorts of recovery. Normatec sessions, ice baths, a foam roller, epsom salt foot baths. Living large! Picked up the bounce box and our REI shipment at the post office (we now have new shoes, replacement tent stakes, and new pants for me). Chatted a bit with our AirBnB host, Melania, who told us stories of her military days. She’s a very interesting person to talk with, and an accommodating host. Getting our resupply was easy because we could use the rental car and didn’t have to carry groceries across town to our hotel room like we typically would on a town stop. Learned that packing the bear can as full as possible barely fits 6 days of food. Gonna have to figure out a way to carry it comfortably since the side of the can is going to press on my back. Trading out old problems for new ones as we go into this next section.
