#ThrowbackThursday
This is part of a series of journal entries I have made while section hiking the Pacific Crest Trail since 2013 over on Trailjournals.com. I am moving them here to Must Hike Must Eat and updating them with photos (and maybe fixing typos). Look for them on Thursdays or you can head over to Trailjournals.com and read as many as you would like!

Trip Miles: 321
Today is another zero, no hiking for me. Unless you count walking around the Bavarian town of Leavenworth. My mom drove up today in my car to bring me my resupplies and some non hiking clothes to wear. It is such bliss to wear flip flops, it has been hard to wear shoes and socks every day! My toes like to be free!
I assessed what I had in my resupply and found I had done a really good job of predicting what I might need at this time, including extra calories. Then we hopped in the car and headed back up over the pass into Leavenworth for the afternoon.
I always forget how crowded the town can be, so it was a bit overwhelming to see all the tourists. After not finding a parking space, I decided to go to Safeway first and get some fresh food to eat for the weekend. My guilty pleasure was finding 3.5 oz packages of Garlic Herb Kerrygold butter. I bought two. And some Mocha Cappacino Hazelnut spread.
Happily stocked, we drove back to the Main Street, found a spot to park and walked to lunch. The rest of our visit included a stop by shops for chocolate, salami, and dairy free gelato. Most of which has already been devoured…
Heading back to the car, the hills around Leavenworth had filled with the hazy smoke from a nearby forest fire. Matched with 95 degree weather and thunderstorms this weekend, I am feeling lucky I had planned to take a zero today. Maybe I’ll take one more…
I spent the rest of the day writing and chatting with Candace, listening to intermittent rain and the clash of thunder. And working my way through a stick of butter and some German Chocolate fudge.
