Zero Day!

Hikers like to keep track of their mileage. It's not a bragging rights thing, well at least not for us, but when you're trying to hike this many miles you just think about the miles everyday. Today we did approximately zero trail miles. We did hike a few miles here and there for food and more food and to go to the Public library. AT hikers call it a zero day. It was glorious! We had a few good meals and ice cream, and then gelato and have pretty much been hanging out, relaxing and eating all day. We are in Rangely, Maine, which means we have completed about 220.5 trail miles. This terrain is tough and it is only going to get tougher as we head into the White Mountains! So, we decided we were due for a break. We have enjoyed this town; lobster rolls and canoeing on the lake and we went to a fresh market and stocked up on all sorts of delicious snacks. Back on the trail tomorrow.
