So I was debating on whether to get back on trail, but decided against it because I wanted my feet to have another day to breathe. Very stoked about another town day. Tinkle offered for me to join her at the Fireside Inn which I gladly accepted. Now I will have stayed at three different hotels in Idyllwild. Guess, why the hell not?

Smackdown headed out back on trail early and Sabrina and I walked around town for a bit. She headed back onto trail as well. I headed over to the Inn and met up with Tinkle. Tinkle is rad as hell and I hope we are able to keep hiking together a bit. We watched old 90s movies and drink beers. A wonderful last day in town. We also cooked dinner, epsom salted our feet, and slept in this glorious king size bed.

I also had a really good friend give me a call and that boosted my mental energy as well. She always has the right things to say. I’m taking this energy with me into the next section and leaving little crumbs of it on trail. It’s interesting how people can have such a high and a low all in one. I’ve come to realize this is pretty normal and to remain high all the time is exhausting and untrue. Just one of the many societal pressures that needs to be broken and normalized. That it’s okay to feel a little all over the place. I’m not sure if one ever feels truly centered. Bumbling all over is my forte.

Anyways, the day ended as I caught up on the new season of handmaids tale and slipped off into this ginormous bed.
