The Zero Day Haiku

A town filled with trees. Jacinto’s shadow looming. Shared meal to refuel.

Zero day in Idyllwild. It felt weird to wake up in a bed. After a few hours I was motivated enough to lay out all my gear and do a shakedown. This is when I look at every single thing in my pack and ask have I used this, do I need this. The goal is to get rid of anything not necessary.

I caught up on blogs at a coffee shop. Then went to the store to resupply and grabbed a burger. And headed to claim a floor spot at my friend’s Airbnb.

We made a group pasta dinner and I was surprised to get a couch spot! I’m ready to summit Mount San Jacinto tomorrow morning. The sixth most prominent peak in the contiguous 48 states.
