MRT Day 30: Zero Day in Alpine

Daily Miles: 0, Total Miles: 426.0

I awoke to snorting and grunting, maybe a pig farm, no wait, I’m in a motel. It was a guy(?) snoring probably four inches away, separated by paper thin walls.

Got breakfast at the only restaurant open in town, Bear Wallow Cafe. “Guns Welcome” sign and other banners kind of set the scene, but the food was OK. As it turned out, Alpine was a bust as far as eateries go. All restaurants (4?) were closed tonight for various reasons – so heating up pizza tonight. Thank goodness for the Alpine General Store – nice people and great milkshakes!

After breakfast, I went to the post office. I gave the postal worker my name and that I had a General Delivery box. He said without hesitation, “You’re two days early”, now I’m impressed because he’s right!
