5 miles
The laundry and showers didn’t open until 9, so we had no rush to get out of the tent. Eventually we made our way down from the group campsite to start our town chores. Not many hikers here so we didn’t have to wait in line and got done with it all fairly quickly. We picked up our resupply boxes and repacked our food. We definitely shipped more food than we’ll need so we trimmed it down and put the extras in the hiker box. From the hiker area, you can see upriver to where the trail is. It looked like it was raining over there, so we stayed in town and waited for the 6pm shuttle back. It was nice to be off our feet and be able to get snacks and beer from the general store throughout the afternoon. The bus took us back upriver and we breezed through the 5 miles to camp. We were the last ones to arrive, and there seems to be a group of guys on vacation camping here who are clearly drunk and being loud. Hiker midnight is 9/sunset. If you need a headlamp then you need to be quiet. And if you use a headlamp, try not to shine it on people’s tents. Use the red light mode when you can. Simple stuff.
