Day 10- zero day
Zero trail miles because we rested in town!
Miles walking to the ice cream store: .4
We began the morning with friends in a home eating a home cooked breakfast! What a treat and luxury on the trail! Then we headed into town to finish our errands and got to see people we had started the trail with come into town. I had to find some dinner food at the grocery store and was super excited to find a new type of dinner. I got instant rice, a tofu soup mix, and dehydrated veggies. I will then add a protein packet I get sent to me in my boxes. Hopefully this will be a great new recipe for trail meals. Since gluten has been contributing to my eczema, I have been trying to find gluten free, dairy free meals to cold soak. Literally just put in my plastic jar with water, wait like an hour, then eat. So far it has been going well, just requiring creativity!
The rest of our day included shaved ice, (ice cream for Kevin), a nap, a long sit at the coffee shop, planning our trail miles, resting our feet, and eating dinner with a new trail friend!
The trail has a unique culture where you can walk into a trail town or watering hole on the trail and immediately have something in common with those around you. It isn’t weird to walk up and start conversation with people you just saw or sit with new people at a restaurant. A spirit of welcome could absolutely benefit the rest of our culture too!
