Nature's Inn

Nature's Inn is pretty darn awesome! It caters to PCT thru-hikers ~ provides water caches along the trail, has a big PCT welcome sign out front, and has special PCT hiker rates. Our room cost less than the one-person rate at the nearby Motel 6! (Motel 6 is totally overpriced!)

The owner fills the rooms with goodies - Bear Naked granola, Green and Black organic chocolates, Gatorade, Emergen-C, and Airborne packets, instant oatmeal, coffee, hot chocolate, tea, gum... and there's a bowl of apples and oranges in the office. (Can you tell the way to my heart is free food?) There's also a big tub and Epsom salt for tired hiker feet.

Our room had a skylight and rocking chair recliner, both of which I want at my own home! On the porch, there are hanging swing chairs, and leashes and water bowls outside every door (for your pet pooch. or misbehaving spouse?).

There's a rec room with a couch, pool table, computer with Internet, record player, books, TV, DVD player, PCT paraphernalia, and daily water reports. And my all-time favorite - the hiker boxes!

More on hiker boxes in a later post.
