Motel 6 - Motel 6 7/7/10 0 miles

We got up relatively early, having lots to do before we could leave town. We left our packs in the Motel office, thinking we would be back in a couple of hours to hit the trail. WE stopped by the outfitters and got Kristi some new shorts and continued to Rite aid to burn our photos to Cd's so we could add them online. This took a while, so I had an ice cream and Kristi caught up on her real world drama magazines. IT was already lunchtime and we hadn't even made it to the library. WE hard there was a Thai restaurant and could not pass it up. It took us a while to find it, but it was wroth it. We then stopped by Carl Jr's for dessert- cheesecake, milkshake and fries, just to make sure we were full. WE finally got to the library at about 2pm (when we thought we would be leaving town) and got to work. I loaded pictures and did research while Kristi typed her fingers away for the blog. IT was awesome seeing all of our pictures on a big screen, wow. The places we've been. We finally got done around 6pm. Way too much computer time after being in the woods. WE headed back to the Motel 6 in defeat, knowing that it was too late to hit the trail. Took it easy for a while and then we headed back out to the outfitters with Kristi's pack to see if they could help us readjust it. We loaded it up and asked the outfitter to try it on. He agreed that it didn't feel right, bt said that there wasn't much that he could do since nothing was broken. I took it apart and tryed to readjust the frame stay, but it didn't help. We awere disappointed and loaded up a couple of other packs to see if they felt better. Like night and day. This disgusted me even more, since we had gotten the nicest pack initially, thinking it would be the best. We decided we would call Osprey (pack manufacturer) tomorrow and see if they could help us. WE went to Nick and Willy's again for dinner and got a salad, pizza and some bread. Got full and headed back to the room by way of the store for a night cap. Both so tired we could barely finish our drinks before falling asleep. Town isn't as relaxing as it seems. -CM
