BEAVERHEAD NATIONAL FOREST
You would think by now I might have a tight system for getting town tasks done. Despite uploading videos in bed through the night and getting up early, I was down to the wire getting back on trail.
Darby was good and the $20 bunkhouse worked fine for me. In the room with me were Maverick, Voyager, LaddyLongLegs, and HoJo. I got to experience a different collection of night noises than I am used to on trail.
I discovered that my old water filter now looks like it is not filtering. I saw blue dye pass through it. I ordered a new one to meet me down the trail. I think REI will send me a Christmas card for all my credit card usage.
Frodo loaded up her van with hikers and got me on trail at about 2 pm. I got in about 14 miles in. I hope to get some big days in because I discovered my spreadsheet for planning my completion date had a serious error and now shows me getting done in October instead of September. Heck!
