Note
For some reason we were both awake at 5.30, and once we'd waited for the very nice coffee shop to open (Gathering Grounds), headed to Lava Beds National Monument. We were trying to beat the heat but it was hot and exposed, took a brolly with me which was excellent protection. We saw some pictographs, explored some of the more accessible lava tube caves, and hiked through the surreal landscape and lava flows. It was great! Made it back to Klamath for lunch.
After lunch headed out to the Running Y Ranch resort to sit out the heat with a pre-natal massage and spa visit. Definitely the right idea. Blood sugar has been back down again the last few days despite a couple of non-ideal meals in weird places, so I think I'm doing a better job of managing my activity in the heat.
Having a really great trip so far :)
