A Zero Day is when you come off trail for a day and give your body a rest. The recommended interval is every seven days. I chose to take an Uber to Stroudsburg, PA. For you purists, of which I am not, I’ll Uber back to mile marker 1290.4 to recapture the distance.
What do you do with a day off trail?
- Sleep from my late arrival (10 PM) until 2 PM.
- Treat injuries, nasty abrasions from pack log soaked. My knees knock. My feet ache. I’m having a great time!!! Let’s hear it for Advil.
- Resupply
- Go to Church, pray for those who ask for prayer or need prayer, of which I am a member. The priest was kind to open the Church for me, a special accommodation. A Deacon has the task of presenting the prayers of the human family as a precious gift to the Father. An evening oblation that the life course of these I know may be peaceful.
- Tomorrow early AM Mass.
