I’m leaving East Glacier tomorrow for twelve days of hiking the CDT to
Helena, MT. My knee feels better, but is still a concern. I’m hiking
with another invalid named Lost. What are my chances?

The weather looks stormy. The rivers look high. The mountains look
snowy. The wilderness beckons. I’ve had a few too many days not in the
wild. It’s time to go see the flowers.

Hiking so far has been wet. I walk through the creeks and the mud
puddles. So I’ll probably have wet feet for the next two weeks.
Wildlife has been superb and should get better. So far, big game
includes, grizzly, black bear, big horn sheep, mountain goats, deer
and moose.
