No pics today.
Jordan didn’t sleep at all last night and wanted to zero so we did. Jack and Rowan got picked up by a guy Jack had met ages ago going to Kanab. The guy had offered Jack (and the rest of us) a spot to stay on a farm he owned nearby. Jordan and I wanted to stay in a hotel with bad TV and wifi so we stayed another day.
We stayed in the room most of the day except to get vegan cupcakes, coffee, and some food from the grocery store. Outside the cupcake place, an old white dude told us we didn’t have to wear masks there which pissed us off. We were already in a terrible mood and hated him for talking to us and for being such a piece a shit about mask wearing. What do you fucking care if we’re wearing masks or not. Shut the fuck up dude.
We also stopped by the local gear store which didn’t have much.
The guy who picked up Jack and Rowan offered to get us food. He was apparently a local millionaire with a wild backstory who was just nice and wanted to treat us to dinner. I have no idea why. But we weren’t able to take him up on it anyway.
Jordan got another call in the evening and his news was even worse that he thought. He was devasted by it and I couldn’t do anything to help. I gave him a huge hug and we went to get burritos and watched wrestling documentaries. Poor Jordan. He’s had a such a shitty time this trip with me being an ass and his hands getting messed up and now this. This hike has been so hard on him and he’s taken it all in stride.
We’re hiking out tomorrow. Jordan seems to want to keep going to Zion. There’s not much we can do now but keep hiking.
