We helped his neighbors move a watertank.






Jenna and I had the same boots, pants, the same style of jacket, and similar hats.

Jen prepared a mighty feast one evening.






Greg lives in a yurt.






The back of Greg's truck broke, so our stuff got very dusty en route to the trailhead.






We dayhiked from our first camp to the top of Lookout Mountain.

We talked to the woman who worked as a lookout there, and she showed us how she located fires.

Jenna led us up through Halfmoon Park.






We stayed three nights on a windy, mostly-burned terrace below this massive cliff.









We explored this cave as far back as it went - it took an hour each way.

Our water source was a 10 minute walk away, so Sancho took advantage of some rain sticking to our tent.









I dropped the girls off at the airport, then headed for Glacier.
