Thursday, August 21, 2025 – Yellowstone Day Three

Hey Darlin'!
Today was a rest day in camp, though I was the only one that truly rested (well, me and the livestock). Maureen, Tony and Ann went for a hike, and Chase and Keaton hiked over to the Yellowstone River to do some fly fishing. Once everyone was out of camp, I ventured into the woods with a shovel to do my requisite ablutions, a first for me! After that, I managed to do a quick wash of my hair using cold creek water, which was enough to breeze my brain! That exercise was followed by me sitting in a chair in the meadow and getting some sun and reading for a few hours until the bugs found me, than I retreated to my tent for awhile and had a quick doze. Once everyone got back to camp, we had a burrito dinner before calling it a night. Once back in my tent I had what I would normally call a "sponge bath", with a collapsible bucket with a little creek water, bar of soap and a washcloth, but felt much cleaner afterwards. I had a pretty good night sleep last night, and with the rest day today, I'm feeling much better, more normal. I'm hoping to settle into a good pattern now, though I'm already in bed and it's barely 8:00, so I'll have to read as long as I can o get back to my normal rhythm. Looking forward to another ride day tomorrow! Good night, babe! Love you!
