On the trail, a day when you don’t hike is called a zero day. On this leg we decided to give up a zero day a Rae Lakes for two “slack days.” basically we took what was going to be a long 20+ mile day and split it in two. This means that we have to hike but, we get to wake up late, take long breaks and still get into camp by 3pm or so. This has given us time to hang out a Palisades Lakes and now a Lake Marjorie, to do a little fishing and to generally have a relaxed time of it.
