It was great to wake up this morning in our cabin. We heard Mike and Jill getting up for an early start which made lying in all the more luxurious.
Check out was at noon and we used all this time well. Tracy took another hot shower and did laundry. I cut off my fringe with the little scissors on my penknife, put various creams and tinctures on different aching body parts, then reorganized our packs better. There was a lot of ziplock action. I also got rid of little things like clothing labels I hadn't gotten round to. Then we looked at our first resupply box and calculated how much more food we needed to pick up at the store to get us through the next 4 to 5 days. There was nothing fresh in the store so we picked up another pack of tortillas, a foil pack of tuna and Snickers/candy.
As we had planned a short day of walking we had time to saunter to the resupply store and pick up some sun gloves. We're really going to need them in the next section. Talked to Dave the owner. He has the entire contents of REI and Mountain Hardware in his store which is the size of a large walk-in closet. Also picked up some Soft feet insoles to see if those would put a little spring in our step.
The 4.5 mile walk was almost easy after our rest. But the insoles were excruciating.
We arrived at Al Bahr Shrine camp but there were notices everywhere saying it was private. We thought we might ask for water anyhow. A really nice guy said we could not only have water but were welcome to pitch our tents and make use of the Hot Showers. The lodge also had great views of the Anza Borrega desert.
List of things we thought we had lost but hadn't really, we just didn't check every single ziplock: pen and duct tape.
