Day 18: Zero Day, Manitowoc, WI, Max Hird

Today we woke up at 5:30, which felt like 6:30 because we’ve entered a new timezone, and began to pack up. We then found that Daniel P had a bit of a rough night with a bad headache. Instead of hitting the road this morning, we thought it would be best to take Daniel to the hospital because he was looking pretty bad. We all waited at camp while Daniel and Mr. Malinchock set off to the hospital. While Daniel was getting checked on, everyone else went to a restaurant called Dali’s Cafe. It wasn’t great but we managed.

After breakfast, we got some snacks from a gas station and went back to chill at camp. A bit later, we found that Daniel had a concussion from the accident a few days ago and were told that it was a poor idea to ride today. The icing on the cake was that a big thunderstorm was scheduled to hit us early afternoon which pushed us to call a break day.

We spent the majority of our day in the YMCA playing basketball and napping. We met a cool dude named Gavin who joined us for a 6v6 basketball game. We ate lunch at a place called Shooter Malone’s before the rain hit us. We all then took some naps until 6:30 and set off for dinner. We went to a restaurant called Pizza Garden. We spent the rest of the night playing arcade games and wasting our money on cheap prizes. We all went back to camp around 9 and fell asleep to get ready for a big day tomorrow...
