oday I’m taking a zero day. This means I’m not hiking at all. Instead I used the day to resupply, air out my gear and eating lots of food. I accomplished all these goals. On top of this I was able to see some people I hadn’t seen in a week. When you’re a day ahead of people on the trail you can go a long time without seeing them again. This was the case for a bunch of people I had been hiking with.
Since I took a zero I don’t have much to report. I should get through the rest of the park in two days and to Hot Springs in another couple of days. I’m hoping to pick up my daily milage up to 17 or 18 miles for the next couple of weeks. We’ll see how it goes.
