It’s amazing what a shower, clean clothes, and hot food can do for morale. Stayed at Trents two nights ago and it was wonderful. Now Trents is a gas station, but they have tent sites around back next to the campers. From what we could tell the campers were all abandoned, but the were some horses and cows around. They had the normal gas station fare plus burgers, beer, and a killer salad. And for breackfast there was OJ and coffee. The bath bathroom rivaled some of the ones I used in India for filth, but I loved it all! Going into a town or store makes the last part of the day so much better, and the feeling carries on through the afternoon of the day you leave, which is great.
I’ve been feeling a lot more love in general, not sure why. Maybe it’s my body’s ability to finally cope with all the lactic acid and just enjoy the endorphins. Leaving town is getting harder though.

Well, I think that I could give Trents a little competition like a nice, clean bed, sanitized bathroom, homecooked meals on a regular basis, no wild animals, public transportation, wireless, cell phone signal, etc. Just think about the morale level – sky high!!!
