I’m leaving this evening. Guests are coming in an hour for a backyard
bash of falafels and wine. My pack is strewn around the back room. My
backup gear needs to be thrown in a box. I’m still loading my GPS, and
I just bought a new camera. Talk about last minute.

Tonight I fly to Seattle and then on to Spokane. I’ll take a taxi to
the train station for the 1:30am ride to East Glacier. I expect that
I’ll meet other thruhikers on the train platform. Can’t wait to rejoin
the tribe!
