Though my body probably needed it, I kind of regretted not pushing on after picking up my resupply.

My day off in Etna was one of the nicest I’ve had. I woke up late, cooked myself breakfast, and watched Netflix. Then I walked down to the cafe and enjoyed a great latte. Continue reading “Days 75-79: Etna to Oregon”
