Day 206

I got all of my stuff ready. I had to do some repairs to my sleeping pad, restock my food and water, make sure everything was ready for 4 days alone in the desert. I walked over to the post office to get my package so that I could sort stuff out and it wasn’t there again. I would have to wait yet another day here. I really wanted to get going today. I love Eureka but I need to keep going. 
I went back to the hotel and sorted out another night. I considered camping but checked the weather and it said it was going to get down to 27 degrees at night. Forget that. I had to move rooms though. I packed up my stuff and when I walked outside I saw a cyclist getting his gear ready. 
I asked if he was crossing the country and he said yes. we talked about our journeys for a few minutes. He started in Brooklyn and is going to San Francisco. he’s been taking his time and winding around the country.  Really cool guy. 

I went over to my new room and decided to walk to the grocery store and stock up on food. I did that and then stopped in for some mexican food at a place called the Urban Cowboy. I had to. Came back to the room and that was that. I figured if I was going to be wasting a day that it might as well be in bed watching movies. so that’s what I did. I really hope my package is there in the morning so I can get out of here.
