AT Day 139: Zero Day in Rangeley ME

ByPurple Haze Posted onJune 23, 2024September 24, 2025

Daily Miles: 0, Total Miles: 1,963.7

A restful day and another rainy day in Rangeley ME. Waffles with blueberries and a side of bacon was a good start to a zero day. Read my book, talked to family, looked at the next section of trail and took a short nap. On TV, lots of bla, bla, bla about the upcoming presidential debate – like it would change anyone’s mind.

Between the rain showers, I passed by Rangeley’s small movie theater on the way to the market. The one move, Wicked Little Letters, a British film, was showing tonight. Suddenly I had a strong hankering for heavily buttered and salted popcorn. I thought I may be the only one there but was joined by maybe six latecomers. Popcorn hit the spot! The movie was cute but a warning on bad language if that bothers anyone.
