Day 48–Wednesday, August 16. Seix (Zero Day)

We thought we had made reservations for two nights, so why was someone pounding on our door at 9:30 and yelling at us? I got out of bed to find out what was happening. It turns out, we also get breakfast included in the price of our room and they stop serving at 10. Plus, they wanted us out of the room so they could clean. They want to feed us and clean up after us–it’s like being a kid all over again. No wonder Sam doesn’t want to grow up; this is nice.

After breakfast, we went into SWAT mode and hit the remaining stops we need to get done before hitting the trail again tomorrow. 1) Pharmacy for ibuprofen and melatonin (surprisingly, 10 hours of hiking a day doesn’t put us to sleep). 2) grocery store–we made our list last night after seeing what is available and we just ate breakfast, so hopefully, we can keep my pack weight down. 3) finish up the blog. An up to date blog is a stress free Curtis.

Other than that, today was just what the name implies–a zero day. We do nothing other than eat and rest. We might walk around town a bit since we won’t be here again. It’s always good to get a little Seix into your life.

Some old building, maybe we’ll go check it out later

Possibly a beer might make it down our gullets today.

It will probably be at least 3 days (maybe even 5–we are slow and old) before we have access to an internet connection again, so chill and enjoy your stress-free work lives while we do all the walking for you.

We painted the town pink and blue–good night

  1. Glad to see you have your blog-up-to-date. Was concerned when we didn’t hear from you. I thought with the in reach texting you got that off of a satellite. Is that not right? Do you have to have Wi-Fi for texting? Love you talk later.

    1. In reach is satellite and we use it for texting. Wifi we use for texting and what’s app. Too many options!

  2. We shared the worries in another comment – thought maybe you had fallen off the mountainside or something. We are headed to Heron Pond for the big eclipse on Monday – from the maps it looks like the line of totality runs pretty close to your old place. Take care of each other and be safe.

    1. We getting ready to really fall off the earth for the next 8 days–no internet, no shops, no food…we are on our own in the middle of a country where we don’t speak the language and are in the wilderness. Only bears to keep us company

  3. Please don’t fall off the earth! Anyway , remember, its flat!! The eclipse today was cool…we celebrated with mimosas! Be safe and will be excited to read your next blogs when you arrive in some sort of civilization. Hugs to Pam.
