One word to describe the day: zen

Slept in a bit this morning. We went to chozu bathhouse and soaked this morning. They had a hot pool, cold pool, sauna and steam room. Was only $30 for 90 mins. It was sooo relaxing. My muscles needed that. After the soak i picked up my new shoes and we hopped on the public bus and headed to Medford to go to the REI. I needed a new water filter. I've had mine for a very long time and all the cleaning I could do didn't seem to help the flow. It took a while to get there and back. We went to Safeway when we got back to Ashland and got enough food for our next 5 day stretch, a box I'll send to Crater lake and a box I'll send to a resort near bend.

We treated all of our clothes and gear in permetherin. It's supposed to kill ticks and mosquitoes on contact. I've heard they are bad in Oregon so I'm prepping for the worse. Tomorrow we need to ship our boxes and then we head back on trail. Our next stretch will take us to Crater lake!! Czytaj więcej
