Don't stay at the 'Best Motel' in Mojave.L..... ntinued

I wasn't bothered by the roach. I was actually kind of happy to have seen one in person. But the next thing I noticed wash the rash on my arm I was scratching. Then I noticed I was scrathing all over my body... Seems there is some kind of bed bug working its magic with a dozen of its friends... I definately don't want to let them into my sleeping bag to live out the summer so I'm just sleeping in the bed anyways. I'll mix up a bleach bath in the morning and hope they aren't making baby itchers in my clothes already. I spent the night icing some inflamed tendons I'm nursing and packaging my food for the next section. It's 8 days long with consistantly long water carries of 18 - 25 miles between sources... ugh. There's a road crossing just past half way that most say is harder to resupply from than just packing the extra food, but I'm thinking that I'll mail a foodbox ahead and save the weight on my injured foot. Hopefully I'm healed enough to leave tomorrow! I already miss it!
