This creepy circus has been following us since Cuba, NM
We all slept in late enjoying a cool room with blackout curtains. When we did rise we headed to the lobby for the free hot breakfast. After watching each other gobble up waffles, French toast and eggs with cheese we arranged for the local bus/shuttle to take us to town for $0.50/each. The shuttle dropped in town at the post office and there is where we spent the next hour or so getting organized.

Each of us had our bounce boxes there so we went to the lobby where the PO boxes were and used the tables to sort through our boxes, charge devices and download photos. Once done we packed the boxes back up and sent them forward to Dubois where we should be in two weeks time.

We then strolled back to the Thai restaurant which had an all you can eat buffet for $9.50. I powered down 5 delicious plates of curry, spring rolls, pork, chicken etc…..after having our fill the shuttle bus came and took us back to the hotel. We spent the afternoon napping, catching up with home, blogging, etc….
Since my chores were done and there was a bar on site I strolled in for a few cocktails with the locals and dinner. Man what scene that was I was sitting with two guys who work in the refinery, they were fun to chat with but a bit on the redneck side of the spectrum. Then their buddy rolled in with a shirt that read “pissing off PETA members one kill at a time, 307 club”. It was a classic for sure. I did meet a talk with a nice retired couple own their way to Yellowstone from Texas. I gave them some spots to check out along their road trip. Since it was 9 and I had drunk enough to numb any pain I had from the previous day’s hike I turned into bed. Maverick was fixing gear for folks so we sat up a bit and watched Ghostbusters before finally going to sleep so we could leave in the morning.
