This was my first true zero day, and boy did I enjoy it! I spent most of the day catching up on emails and posting trail journals. Went back to the grocery store to get fruit, salads, a microwaveable burrito and some ice cream, among other yummy things.
FYI: The wine pours are enormous at Uncle Bill’s.
News on My Zero Day
I learned today that my parents aren’t doing so well; it may be time for them to go into assisted living or have more care at home. After several lengthy discussions with two of my siblings 
about the topic, I decided to take the shortest alternate routes back to Grants and head home a few days early. I’m ready, anyway.

P.S. Check out the bruises on my arm, mostly from my backpack!
