Hung around the Salida Hostel, read, and did some maintenance on my battered feet. The insoles for my shoes finally made their way from Monarch Mountain Lodge.

The family took me right to the Salida Hostel where I’m staying for a couple of days. What an amazing gift to meet this family and receive their help.
