I'm even older than you are. And I'm a cheapskate. I've been  
wondering how necessary it is to take zero days in town. What I mean  
is, can't you just pick up your package, load up on a good meal, then  
get the heck out of Dodge and take a zero day, or a really low  
mileage day, somewhere on the trail? Does anybody ever do that?
