In honor of the holiday or weekend or something, I decided to take a full day off. I actually blame another hiker, Dog, who was at the same hotel. He told me it would probably rain and that he was pulling a zero, so I decided to join him and a few others.

We spent the early part of the day doing laundry and buying food, and the latter part of the day eating and watching the new Captain America movie at the theatre.

There were rumors of a country music concert, which we never found, but we managed to have a good amount of fun without getting kicked out of the hotel. And I acquired a new piece of gear:
