Zero Days
Hi All. Every once in awhile, hikers need to take a break. For the most part, I’ve tried to do that by only hiking 5 or 6 miles and taking the afternoon off.
My ankle, however, has decided for me that today is a full day off. I don’t know when — could have been in the Pennsylvania rocks, or the New Jersey rocks (with rain) — but my right ankle and knee have started hurting enough to slow my hiking to 10 miles a day.
Time to have a day with zero miles, get the leg some rest, and catch a shower. I’m in Vernon, NJ, at the St. Thomas Episcopal Church, which has a hiker hostel. They graciously offer part of their meeting room for us to sleep in, have a shower, and get out of bad weather. There’s even a Wi-Fi connection.
I should be past the New York border on Sunday, if the ankle cooperates. Thanks for following the adventure, and don’t be shy about commenting.
Tim (Day 34 on the AT)
