Day 85; Fri July 20 2007

(Dr Bug) We didn't hike a single mile today. Thru-hikers call that a 'zero day'. This will be our 7th zero day on the PCT.

Because of Susan's shin splits we are going to take the day off and stay at the Green Gables Motel in Burney one more day.

The day started with a trip to the barber shop for a trim of the beard. Then a trip to the Safeway for food for the up coming 90 walk to Castella. Then back to the motel to get Susan and lunch at the pizza place. Then shopping at Rite - Aid for last minute items. A call to sister Sharyn for medical advice about Shin splits and a call to brother to ask for the data book to be mailed to Castella. After all this we when for a swim in the pool and then to the BBQ place for dinner. I didn't get much rest but Susan stayed off her feet most of the day. This is a typical 'day off' the trail.
