Agreed.    We have a big breakfast and hit a warm up shack or 2 for a snack and some “fellowship” during the day.    Rarely do we go into a town for lunch.    

And faster..nothing worse than spending an hour and a half at noon trying to get something to eat. I try to have a hearty breakfast then something like this that is easy on the trail then a good meal at night. Days are too short to be spending prime daylight hours in a restaurant 👍

Much different than that  at Heidelberg. Whiteouts then clear sunny then snowing and windy all the time.

Thanks for the update. Which route did you come down from amos to valdor? Heading up thurs or fri.
