Miles Hiked: Big Ol Zero!
Today was exactly what we needed. Extreme laziness!
Journey and I slept in until 8 ish and headed over to Penny’s Diner for breakfast. I ordered the classic pancakes, eggs, and sausage while Journey added some hashbrowns to his meal.


We then went back to the hotel and were lazy for most of the day. So there is minimal to write about!
We grabbed coffees, took Epsom salt baths, and laid in bed.

It was a genuine zero day and I couldn’t be happier.
For lunch we grabbed salads and cinnamon rolls from the grocery store since we didn’t want to walk far to anywhere.

Unfortunately the cinnamon rolls were only a 5 out of 10 on my score chart. They just didn’t have the texture or flavor.
The day flew by and we caught sight of Stove and Columbus as they got in today. We all agreed that the basin took it out of us. A tough and beautiful section.
For dinner we went to Pizza Hut again and ordered the exact same thing. It was just what we wanted.
A good zero day and we are going to get up early tomorrow to get out before the sun. Some days we just need a day to do nothing but relax.
