CONTINENTAL DIVIDE TRAIL

CDT Day 135: Zero Day in Helena

ByPurple Haze Posted onAugust 20, 2017September 21, 2025

Daily Miles: 0, Total Miles: 2,375.3

A very relaxing and pleasant day with my son and family. Homemade huckleberry pancakes for breakfast, prepped a bit for the upcoming fantasy football draft (my son is the league commissioner), and got a few supplies for the next leg. I had dropped the $5 earphones that I bought in Darby into a creek a few days ago. What was poor sound quality before was now hissing, popping and cracking. I replaced them today with $10 sports earphones from Walmart. I expect a 100% improvement in my audio experience.

A most appreciated afternoon nap, great pizza for dinner and a trip to Dairy Queen – banana split for me and Blizzards for the kiddies.
