Day 102: An Unexpected Zero

AMAZING breakfast at the Holiday Inn Express. Fresh cinnamon rolls, fruit, omelets, yogurt, good times. We feasted and went back to the room. Scatters and I had PLANNED to hike out that day..... Buuuuuut... There were DANGEROUS heat advisories out for the area AND One Life had the room for two days AND we had plenty of food AND the motivation suddenly dwindled after so much eating so early in the day. We changed our plans for an unexpected zero day in Fort Montgomery.

We chilled out all day. Snacked. Watched bad tv. Napped. One Life uploaded photos. Scatters somehow got herself another free pack from Gregory. I took care of emails and other admin. A few trips to the mini mart. It was nice. And it was HOT outside!!! So glad to be in the AC.



Powder, who has been back on the trail after pulling his hamstring a week or so ago, stopped by to hang out a bit and shower. Then One Life's sister, Abigail, drove up from NYC! We all hung out in the increasingly stinky room. Later on, we dropped Powder off at the trail head (he was stronger than all of us to get back on the trail so late!) and the ladies and One Life grabbed dinner at a local Mexican restaurant. Delicious! (thanks, Abigail!!)

We were stuffed. Abigail drove us back to the hotel. We watched the end of a movie and then she left to get back home. (see you next weekend??) The rest of the evening was short. Hitch was on tv, then blogging and bed.

Now we DEFINITELY should be rested and recharged to start off strong for New England. Looking forward to hiking in the morning! (and the breakfast beforehand : )

Just wondering; Are you on the Appalachain trail, or the Hotelchain trail? Happy to see you all bulking up for the challenge ahead. Hope it cools off for you.

Been following the progress of you all since One Life first started posting on you tube. I envy you all. Keep on hiking, you will be to Katahdin before you know it. From one hiker to another, keep on hiking.
