We find an outdoors superstore and realize it is targeted mainly to hunting and fly fishing. It's interesting to see the people around the store, mostly dressed in military and camouflage gear. They are so different from the type of crowd you'd find in a sporting goods store on the East coast, but then again the store itself would not exist there! It's disturbing to see the gun and rifle displays. It's sad to see the taxidermy mounts on the walls, for sale, of full-size grizzlies, elks, mooses, deer and - to my astonishment - even rabbits with antlers, the so-called jackalopes. We decide that there is nothing for us in such a place. We basically waste the rest of the day going from one store to the other, not buying anything, including a stop at Starbucks where I took advantage of a T-Mobile hotspot to check e-mail, answer work-related stuff, talk to Francesca via Skype and keep writing this diary.
Back to camp early, I cook up a healthy meal for myself (Petr ate pizza at Costco) and we curl up in bed to watch a movie. A few days earlier we had bought a quadruple feature at Wal-Mart for $5.50 - 2 DVDs with 4 movies, although I never heard of the titles, they feature Morgan Freeman, James Earl Jones and Danny Glover, so that's somewhat reassuring. We watch Death of a Prophet, with M. Freeman, which recounts the last 24 hours in the life of Malcom X. Petr falls asleep after 10 minutes, I stubbornly watch it until the end just because. Lesson: don't ever let cheap movies tempt you!!!!
Laura cooking up something on the stove. Yep, it was cold even inside!
