mi. 0sleep bed/hotelDest. Gorhem Day 32 For the first time today I was able to sleep in. Only to around 8 or so though. Pulling the curtins shut helped. Clay and Jason showed up from their trip to the post office with donuts and coffee. I finally got my donut fix. Today had a lot of walking in it. I finally realize why everone says zero days in town still equal a lot of walking. I probibly walked 6 miles today. I walked down to the laundry mat and did laundry for all of us. After than I met the other guys at the outfitters here. I didn't buy anything this time. Than we walked back to the hotel. From there to the walmart. Which is farther than the guide book lets on. It is all of 2 or 3 miles out. I did get some resupply shopping done. Although I ended up dropping $55. It was for food for 5 days and for another fuel canister that will probibly last me the next month. I also finally got enough rope to properly bear bag. I also got some heath ice cream bars to share for the ride home. When we got to walmart we saw a trolly drive by. They really need to put it in the guide book. But Gorhem has a trolly bus that will drive you around for $1. We were not going to miss it for the way back. Clay didn't need anything so he said he would wait outside. When I got done I went outside and didn't find him. I figured he got a ride back. When the trolly arrived Karl, Jason, and I got on to find Clay on it. It came just as he went outside. He had been riding it for the last hour talking with the driver. Appartently it goes between Gorhem and the close town of Berlin. It was so nice having a ride back. The driver was cracking us up. He had really bad jokes. He was also playing crazy music. I thought it was a bad radio station until he showed us his mp3 player. It went from Dolly Parten to Disco to bad 80's. One of those who knows what coming next. He did drop us off right at the hotel. After that we headed to the outfitter. This time I got a my hydration system. A 1.9 Liter one this time. I'm tired of running out of water or not drinking enough. It was a really cool closure on it. The top rolls shut like a dry bag. On the way back I hit up Burger king as the others went to the library for the internet. Did you know they have something called the ultimite whopper. It has 2 beef patties, 4 pieces of cheeze, and 8 pieces of bacon. It was fantasic. I got that, some onion rings, a soda, 2 junior whoppers, and a 5 piece chicken. They through in a fries after messing up the order. I planned to eat some and save the rest for later. Later came 20 minutes later. I think I conmsumed 20,000 calories the last 2 days. Probibly more like 12,000. But I'm trying. I spent the rest of the night journalling. I'm surprised how much time it takes every day to keep up on it. A great side effect of staying in tonight is Monday night football is on. It's only preseason but it doesn't matter. It's been awhile since I got my football fix. It's the Bronocs and the Niners. I always said that no matter where I live I am going to root for the local team. Denver is going to be a hard one after growing up cheering for the Browns and Bangels. But I'll make do. As long as it's not the Steelers. I think I may have to plan town nights around the Bengals schedule. I want to watch their prime time games. Who-Dey!
