There were a lot of day tourists milling about once we got there, and I felt pretty gross and out of place on the bus sitting next to clean shaven and showered people, neatly pressed jeans and perfume and shampoo permeating the space like a concoction out of the beauty aisle in a Macy\u2019s department store.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When we got to town every modestly priced accomodation (Motel 6, Travelodge, etc) was booked on account of a Moto Cross event and a marathon. This seems to happen to us often. As a result, we splurged on the only thing we could find that wasn\u2019t the hostel, which was a private suite with king bed, living room and full kitchen at the Holiday House. It really is quite lovely. We will zero tommorrow and rest up before heading out back on the trail.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_755\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-755\" style=\"width: 853px\" class=\"wp-caption
