Yep.

Especially since people who do a good deal of touring tend to be, um, “frugal.” I’ll never forget the two sweaty, dirty looking guys I met at a restaurant in Rexford, MT in 2019. The federal campground in town doesn’t have showers. They rolled their eyes and snorted when I told them the restaurant had showers for $6/person.
