Resting up in East Glacier

I am East Glacier Park after spending an incredible 7-days in Glacier National Park. I encourage anyone and everyone to come up here to see this unique, untouched national treasure - seriously.

I have updated my trail journals and flickr sites, but I may have to wait a while to upload video, since internet is so spotty here, and I have a lot of requests from other hikers to use the computer.

I am having the time of my life... again. I will update things again when I arrive in Lincoln, MT, which will be in about 8-9 days.

New Video on my hike is Here!

I am in Glacier National Park, and it is awesome. I tried loading a video to YouTube, and it did not work out, so I will try it again later on. I will post it on the sidebar. Today, I anticipate writing another journal entry on Trail Journals, so look out for that. I just got my permit to hike Glacier, and now I am waiting for So Far, Luna, and Gazelle to arrive. On the trail tomorrow, and I cannot wait. Yeah!

Peace,

Freefall

Gear Check in Indiana

I threw all my gear on the lawn at Lake Luther, the camp I used to work at out here in Indiana. I went through everything, set up the tent, unfurled my clothes, and laid out all my equipment, like I was going to have a yard sale. The picture on this post shows everything I am taking with me on the CDT, and the other picture is of the pack when it is filled up. Cool, eh?

I am learning that there will be several hikers (maybe 12?) at Serrano's up at East Glacier Park. Because of the numbers, I am thinking about starting the hike on the 16th, because our numbers will exceed the capacity of the back country sites in Glacier National Park. It seems that this CDT hiking thing is catching on in popularity. Anyway, starting on the 16th would also allow me to hike with Gazelle and Marlowe, who will both be starting on that day. The question is: will So Far, Luna, and Chance go along with that date (I need to e-mail them!).

Anyway, I am having a great time out here in Indiana. I have enjoyed reconnecting with friends and family out this way. The weather out here has been perfect the last few days, and the mosquitoes are not fully out yet - I have a feeling though that they will be vicious here in a week. I wonder if they will be bad in Montana?

I cannot wat to get on the trail. Only another week before I will be boarding the train to East Glacier Park! Yipee!
