Tuesday, June 23—Day 62

Took a zero at VVR today. We rediscovered bottomless coffee and Scrabble, both of which we enjoyed for hours. Between games, we walked two miles up the road to make calls on Tom’s phone at the only place he could get a strong signal.

We really did play Scrabble pretty much all day, and I don’t think I’ve enjoyed myself more in some time. This place is pretty expensive, but we’ve managed to keep the food bills low. For breakfast this morning, I bought a jug of shake-and-pour pancake batter mix for $2. I tried to make campfire pancakes, but ended up eating a lot of clumpy batter, which was still tasty and filling. You learn to not be picky out here.

We’re hiking out tomorrow. Not too early, I hope, because it’s late and all my stuff is spread out everywhere. Also, if we’re still here when the restaurant opens at 7, I can get more coffee. Something I’m becoming very fond of. ‘Night.
