Today was a great day to sleep in. Sandpoint marked our final planned break day for the trip and everyone took full advantage of it. Most rooms woke up somewhere between 8 to 11 am. Breakfast wasnt organized so we found whatever we could. Me, Daniel G, Max, and Hugh found a small bagel shop and other groups ate at a cafe right down the street called Connie's.
The rest of the day played out like a typical breakday. Lots of long naps in the hotel rooms, and snacking on any food we can find around town. Lunch was almost completely ignored by most of the team but we decided to have a big family dinner for our last break day meal. We made a reservation for 6:30 at a restaurant called The Match Box. We all walked over together, and spent dinner reflecting on the past 49 days of the trip. Evan laid out the plan for the last 8 days of the trip, including 5 passes in 5 days. Everyone knew that the last week in Washington would he hard, but it's hard to imagine that many hills in such a small amount of time.
After dinner everyone found food either at a gas station or a grocery store. A few of us visited the hot tub before bed but quickly left after getting swarmed by other strangers. Everyone went to bed early exited to start on the last week of the trip but also nervous for the upcoming gauntlet that the next week has been described as.
