PCT Day 34: Zero Days in Tehachapi

Daily Miles: 0, Total Miles: 558.3

On my first zero day in Tehachapi, I got a taxi to the post office and ran some errands. The town is pretty spread out.

About noon, I started feeling tired and queasy – hate to get sick but at least I’m in a motel. I spent most of the next two days running between the bed and the toilet. My body felt like a small, smelly power plant. I got to a doctor and received medication to treat giardia and another prescription to treat a bacterial infection.

Good, uninterrupted sleep last night and feeling almost normal – the meds are doing their work. Walked downtown and saw the new Star Trek movie. I stayed awake which means it was pretty good.

I had an early dinner at Kohnen’s German Bakery – a Cubano sandwich and a chocolate eclair, probably the biggest and heaviest ever! This is getting to be more of a food blog than a trail journal.

I’m ready to leave town tomorrow.
