“Strange things are afoot at the Circle K.” Ted Logan, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, 1989
Ok, we didn’t time travel, but we have seen three Circle Ks and our camping resort tonight is a couple of hundred yards behind one. So I have been channeling the movie.
We had another day of good weather with threatening clouds early that quickly dissipated.
The terrain around us is getting hillier, but we have been following the river. It’s flat-ish although we are generally gaining elevation.
The first half of the day was the best hiking yet—on single or double track through the forest along the river with some incredible rapids.
The second half of the day was back to country roads through small hamlets and agricultural areas. A one-eyed man at a small logging facility stopped us to ask about our hike. It was a nice human interaction.
We are staying at a lake side campground/cabin rental/restaurant place. The restaurant is not open on Mondays, except for us apparently. Anna, who is absolutely delightful, made us dinner, gave us breakfast and lunch for tomorrow, and tomorrow evening will drive the 11 miles to our next cabin to bring us dinner plus another breakfast and lunch. We love Anna.
And for those keeping score at home, I beat K in two games of cribbage, almost skunking her both times. Although, I think I’m still behind for the trip.
How have the accommodations been, and the food especially what you take with you for lunch?
ReplyDeleteBoth have varied widely but all have been satisfactory. Lunches have mostly been sandwiches. Can’t complain about anything. Even the Shining hotel turned out fine.
