Ashland

11/1/2015

August 5-6: In a work, Ashland was fantastic! Like most college towns, Ashland had great food and beer for cheap. It had a full service outfitter, a running store, and more restaurants than I could even handle! Thai? Check! Indian? Check! Deli? Check! Italian? Check! Good pub food? Check! Plus, Ashland has a Shakespeare Festival. Originally, we had planned on maybe taking in a play. But after going to the shoe store (for Nick to get new shoes) and the hat store (for me to replace the sun hat I lost at a water source) and the outfitters (for repairs and replacements) and the grocery store to resupply, and the post office (to mail resupplies ahead) and the UPS store (for resupply to places where USPS doesn't go) and eating and drinking beer, well, there just wasn't enough time! 

Zero days are like that. Sometimes people at home have an idea that days in town are spent lounging around, but they are more like weekends at home, when you are running from one place to another getting all the weekly errands done. 

We did catch a little of Jon Stewart's last show, though.

Though we had planned on hiking along in tandem, some more, Nick ended up staying in town another 1/2 day to catch up with some friends who happened to be in Ashland. And so it is. 

After Ashland, I hit the trail, once again solo.
