GET Day 4: Into Superior

Not in a rush so a rare two cups of coffee morning. Much warmer last night and supposed to be hot and windy today and tomorrow. Good timing for a ZERO!

On the way down the hill, I surprised a large herd of mule deer, 14 in total, single file, running, jumping and hopping across the trail. Saw three more before I reached US Hwy 60.

Traffic was fast as I started down the highway towards Superior. A van soon pulled over, and a trail angel, Rusty, gave me a ride. She had already picked up a young AZT hiker (oh, to be 18 years old again).

Headed straight to Los Hermanos restaurant and bought Clovis and I some huevos rancheros.

Hiker chores and nap at the Copper Mountain Motel. Their coin-operated laundry was broke down so they washed my clothes – nice!

The take-out dinner from the Jade Grill Asian BBQ was surprisingly tasty – Thai Chili Chicken & rice with a side of gigantic egg rolls. Plenty for leftovers tomorrow.
