even being in a motel, we only managed to sleep in till 630. We all went to the coffee shop around the corner that offered pct hikers their first cup of coffee free. I don't mess with coffee on the trail so it's also nice to get one in town. Next we hit up the gas station which offered hikers a free hot dog. Then we all split up and did our town errands. I went to the local hardware store to pick up my insoles. I was pleasantly surprised to see a card and snakcs/ treats from my roommates and friend in colorado in my package. It's always a big morale boost when you I get those unexpected trail magic surprises. Next I went over to the grocery store and did my resupply as well as get some fresh food for the rest of the time in town. Some friends of ours got an air bnb with a washer and dryer so they let us clean our clothes there. There was also a bathtub which we filled with hot water and Epson salt to soak our feet. We took shifts of four at a time soaking our blistered feet I'm the tub. We hung out the rest of the evening there them went back to our motel. My feet felt the best they had in weeks and I as itching to get back on trail the next day.
