CT Day 18: Zero Day in Salida

ByPurple Haze Posted onAugust 31, 2022September 22, 2025

Daily Miles: 0, Total Miles: 253.2

Laid back day in Salida. Salida was on my list of potential places to retire to until Mrs. Haze shared her two “musts”. Firstly, must not be cold, and secondly, must be able to play tennis year around.

I wandered downtown this morning and picked up an isobutane canister, one tent stake, a Thermarest repair kit and my resupply box from the PO. Otherwise, I stayed in a prone position for much of the day.

I grabbed a burger for dinner and watched the US Open.
