Day 9 on the Arizona Trail

We slept in this morning! We didn’t get up until around 7:30am. We took a nice shower, gathered our dirty clothes and heading to breakfast. They have a breakfast buffet at the lodge that was really good. Lots of options.

After breakfast we headed over to Mathers Campground (across the road) to do laundry. The laundry mat also has showers (not very clean) and plugins for charging your electronics.

After we finished our laundry we headed back over to the lodge, relaxed, and caught up with the blog, family, and friends. We walked to the general store which is in the parking lot of the lodge and got a few essentials like baby wipes! We found the back of the store, which is more for the backpackers was fair priced opposed to the front of the store which is full of tourist items! We did find an alcohol section which sold a AZT Pale Ale, which Family Mule had to try of course!

After we were we all set for the leave tomorrow we set at the tavern inside the lodge and had dinner. Decent food but expensive as expected. We turned in early in anticipation of tomorrow’s long hike.
