Journal:
Not much to report for today. We both had a.good night's sleep and enjoyed the motel's breakfast after Julie had been for a run around the very small town.
Augusta is a neat and tidy little Western town set in flat grazing land with the mountains to the west. The locals are very friendly and we are immediately identified as CDT hikers.
For the rest of the day, Dave hung out in the motel room watching the TV and doing some admin chores while Julie spent time sitting outside on the verandah or looking around town, including asking whether anybody knew of anybody who could drive us back to the trail on Thursday morning. No luck so far, so we think we will be hitchhiking.
We ventured back to the same bar as last night for dinner then had another quiet night. A few other hikers have turned up at the motel.
