Journal:

A quiet day, though with lots of planning and shopping for supplies, some of which will be mailed ahead tomorrow.

We had breakfast at a nearby diner, but ate our other meals in our motel room, which has clothes and gear spread everywhere.  Making ourselves right at home.

Dave spent much of the day glued to the TV watching coverage of Biden’s withdrawal from the Presidential race, but did venture out to buy some bear spray.  We will soon be in grizzly country.

Julie had her usual “in town” pre-breakfast run and took care of most of the shopping as well as laundry.  There are a number of other CDT hikers staying in our motel (which has a good reputation amongst hikers because of its low price and convenient location) and we have had a chat with some of them.

We are looking forward to another sleep-in tomorrow and another quiet day before getting back on the trail on Tuesday.
