August 25th
Another zero day. Decided to make the most of it. Caught up some blog entries in the morning after motel’s continental breakfast.
Went to strip mall and got much needed haircut. Felt so much better.
Got some groceries to take out of town in addition to resupply.
I had a hamburger plus bowl of chili for lunch. Took a power nap back at motel. The highly recommended Italian restaurant was too far for dinner, so I settled for another hamburger, this time from an Irish pub. I ordered a sub from the sandwich shop next door to bring on the trail.
Also, given my luck with hitchiking, I ordered a cab to take me to the pass.
