July 26th
We’re all feeling battered and bruised. We decided to hunker down to a day of junk TV and naps in a cheap motel. We visited the town’s sole Chinese restaurant for lunch, and I got a milkshake from the main burger joint in town.
A quick thank you to Brooks for mailing me a replacement pair of shoes. They managed to get them to Belden just before my arrival. Unfortunately, I think these Cascadia 10s are not destined for long. I’m already seeing wear after only 90 miles.
