Before I go any further, I have to go back to the fishing pole Mark found a few days earlier. We camped at Five Mile Camp the night before going into Stehekin with three guys who are hiking a section of Washington. In the course of talking with them we found out they had met the guy who lost it and that he would be hiking into Stehekin not far behind us. So we got to return it to him, and he was very grateful since it had been his father's. It was kind of cool. Mark had carried it for a little while, but ditched it when we hit all the blowdowns. Then Flippy and Cruisin' picked it up and carried it all the way in. Jeff, the pole's owner, was so thankful, he paid for part of Flippy and Cruisin's dinner one night, and then bought us some beer, which we promptly passed on to Flippy and Cruisin' as well :).
We found a rec-room above the PO that was technically reserved for guests at the hotel, but we spent significant time in there and never really saw anyone else utilize it. There was a TV, pool table, computer (that we couldn't get email to work on), and an exercise room, which we did not utilize :). It was just nice to have a place indoors to hang out since we were camping. It was also fun to watch TV. The simple joys others take for granted!
We didn't do much. We got a ride down to the bakery, ate breakfast, and then hung out there until almost noon drinking the free refill coffee. Then we headed back to "town" and hung out in the rec room until dinner. Then it was bedtime. It was a fulfilling and restful day. Mission accomplished.
