Miles: 165.5 | A true zero at Stecoah Wolf Creek Hostel. A slow morning, a grocery run with Donna, and a feast of rotisserie chicken, veggies, garlic bread, and apple fritters. The kind of day where nothing happens — and that’s exactly what I need. Between wine, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and uninterrupted rest, my body and brain finally get a break.

I slept in until 8:30am. Donna had to go to Ingles in Robbinsville and offered to take me along. I went with her and got a rotisserie chicken, veggies, garlic bread, and apple fritters to mow down on during my zero day. Donna got me a bottle of wine, she was so sweet!
We headed back to the hostel. When we got back she had to go out to her storage unit so I was left alone at the trailer all day. I happily sat in the giant bean bag chair in the living room and mindlessly watched TV while eating all of my food. I organized my food bag, too. Later that evening Lonnie stopped by with some meatloaf and mashed potatoes that his wife had made for me. Him and Donna really spoiled me!



I went to bed early and finally slept well that night in my very own room at the hostel.
