MOGOLLON RIM TRAIL

MRT Day 22: Zero Day in Show Low

ByPurple Haze Posted onMay 8, 2021September 22, 2025

Daily Miles: 0, Total Miles: 295.7

I generally try to lay low on my zero day and today was extremely low. The hardest and most strenuous activity was walking next door to the Burger King and bringing back a burger, fries and milkshake.

I like hot dogs but not here

I was even able to make progress on my current book, the Midnight Library, by Matt Haig.

Looked at my next leg to Greer with particular focus on water sources. Doesn’t look a whole lot better, especially with this drought. I have the capacity to carry more, just hate the extra weight, but better safe than sorry.
