Today was a welcome zero day. It was nice to have a day where neither of us felt pressured to work and we could just relax. I was able to get caught up on my entries, so I did sneak a little bit of productivity in there.

Since Janitor will no longer be hiking the trail full-time, we came up with a plan moving forward. He will support me from town for a while until he’s ready to go back home. He won’t stay with me until the end, but I’ll be happy to have him while I can.

Tomorrow I will do a 20 mile slackpack and then enter Shenandoah the day after that!

And that’s day 85.
