Easy Rider II, Day 13, March 29, 2022

 

Hiking back from town

With the forecast calling for rain and thunderstorms, and high temps in the 50’s all day—both here and at my next destination 60 miles away—I opted to stay for a second night at the Punkin Center Lodge. 


It was not a difficult call, in part because my room here is $70, less than half what I had to pay in Phoenix.


In addition, the people are very kind here. (The motel manager just volunteered to drive me to the town grocery store so I could buy bananas.)


I also like the bar next door, and the Mexican restaurant across the street is first-rate and very reasonably priced. If you are ever in town, try the juevos rancheros!


Not planning to do much besides hike into the grocery store, catch up on my reading and podcasts, and take a siesta or two.
