![]() ![]() We decided to take our first zero day since trail days, which was 23 days ago. Finally I just asked the guys, “Are we zeroing or what?” And that was that. We had originally said that we were going to hike out this morning but as it got later and later I began to think otherwise. This morning I wound up sleeping in pretty late and the guys did too. We wound up sitting out by the river for a while before finally heading back to the hotel to call it a night. It was a really beautiful night and as quiet as could be, so long as the train wasn’t going by. ![]() Around 10pm we all left the bar and decided to walk over to the train station and sit by the river for a while. And we wound up sitting on the porch drinking and all shooting the shit for a couple of hours. Later on we all moved from the bar to the outdoor porch seating. We had a couple drinks and then I walked to turn over the laundry. Then we met up with Sweet Pea and Boosted and wound up drinking at the hotel bar. While the laundry was going I wound up walking around and hanging out with Squirrel for a bit. Then the guys and I got our laundry together and headed down to the 24 hour laundromat to start it up. I finished up on the phone with my mom and then went back to our room in The Doyle. Over the last few weeks though the guys and I have done some big miles so we’ve caught up. Our paths crossed a handful of times at trail days but he was pretty far ahead on trail. While I was outside on the phone a hiker passed by who I hadn’t seen since trail days, Squirrel. So I have been jumping through hoops trying to provide information to get the bill discounted. ![]() And even though I was supposed to be covered for the visit the hospital was actually out of my insurance network. Back in March when I thought I had Lyme disease I wound up going to the ER. I’ve been dealing with some annoying bill issues recently and she has been assisting because my mail is sent to her address. We’ll just have to see.Īfter he headed out I wound up calling my mom outside and talking for a bit. What a fun afternoon! Plus we might even get to see him again next week before we complete the state of Pennsylvania. Then he drove us back to The Doyle and hung out with us for a bit longer before heading out. Road Soda treated us all to lunch too which was ridiculously nice and such a surprise. It was such a nice time just hanging out all talking and sharing stories. We chilled in town for a while and then he drove us about 15 minutes out of town to a cool bar with river views.Īt the restaurant I had a couple of drinks and ordered a delicious Philly cheesesteak. It was super cool to see him again and hang out. We met for the first time back at trail days but he lives in Pennsylvania so he wanted to drive down and do some trail magic for us. And shortly after that a hiker named Road Soda drove into town to meet up with all of us! He hiked the AT in ‘21 and the PCT last year. I headed over to the gear shop in town after that to do my resupply. Pizza and Peace Tea on the porch of The Doyle. ![]()
