Even if it was a short day of hiking, it was not a short day…
I was on trail by 9h10 this morning. I slowly made my way towards Laurel Falls. I enjoyed the wall of rocks on each side shortly before them.
Then, there was a short step dowhill of rocks to make it to the falls.
I loved seing the falls. There’s is something beautiful about them (falls in general).
After the falls, the trail continued along the river on one side & a rock wall on the other side.
As I was on the top of the moutain before making the dowhill to Boots Off Hostel, I called them to see if I could get a shuttle to the doctors.
I needed to get the antibiotic for the tick that was imbeded in me a few nights before. But to have it, I needed to see a doctor to obtain a prescription.
Luckily, they said that it wasn’t a problem.
Once at the hostel, I put my stuff in the dome that I was staying for the night & got a ride to the doctor.
After seing the doctor, I walked to the pharmacie to pick-up the antibiotics I needed.
Then, I made my way back to the hostel, they picked my up again.
I am grateful that the hostel helped me liked that to get in town before the shuttle they normally offer innorder to be there before the medical center & the pharmacy closed.
