Ozark Trail Thru-Hike - Day 9

A relatively short and uneventful day. I finally make it to the Brushy Creek Lodge after a little mix-up. I got into my cabin around 1 p.m. and spent the rest of the day relaxing and mostly getting cleaned up.

The owners of the Brushy Creek Lodge were such amazing people. They are incredibly friendly and let me take a few meals from the hiker box (which I thought I was buying) and a can of fuel to ensure I would be good for the rest of the trip.

I would highly recommend staying here to anyone who is doing the trail. It's a great place to jump off and relax for a day or two. The cabin is reasonably priced and it's not very far off the trail. It's around mile 140 going North and around mile 90 if you're hiking South.

I almost stayed for a full zero-day the following day but I saw the weather report was looking good for the next 4 days and was getting bad on Friday so I decided to just have a nearo day and head out in the morning for the final 90 miles.

Thanks for watching!!
