I awoke at 5:40 to Mark fiddling around with his bike. No, not yet pal. I went back to sleep, and apparently so did he… outside the tent however… for some reason. Maybe he and Paul had a squabble… I wouldn’t pry.
Once we all rose at a reasonable hour we headed [...]
Karen had mentioned she was going for an early walk, and had hoped she would catch us before we left. I heard her leave for the walk as I was getting up. It was one of my proudest days yet on tour as I found out I had gotten up before Mark. [...]
I awoke and quickly jumped back on the computer. Mark and Ted were up, probably chatting about running or something, and they began preparing breakfast. After a while, pancakes were up. We had some blueberries, strawberries and bananas to garnish them if we pleased. It was a great breakfast to start [...]
I woke up nice and early around 6:20, shortly after Mark since we wanted to beat the breakfast rush at the restaurant right near the campsite. We also wanted an early start so that we could make it over Logan pass early enough that we could make it into Kalispell at a decent hour [...]
We awoke unscathed by bear claws and teeth, and our bags were unharmed as well. Unfortunately, we had no visitors that night. We packed everything up and headed back to the bar where Cheri, the owner, said she would open for us at 8:00. Sure enough she was there, and I ended [...]
I awoke around 6:20, no doubt hours after Mark was awake twiddling his thumbs in bed. I roused Paul, and we headed out for some breakfast before we finished packing. We had spec’ed out a good breakfast spot the night before, which was nice and close.
We got about halfway to the [...]
It was cool again in the morning when we got up, especially with the cloud cover. We ate some remaining nutri grain bars and made some peanut butter sandwiches. A few minutes after we left camp it began to rain. We already had our jackets on as it was cool enough, so [...]
I awoke fairly early and headed back to the restaurant to get some breakfast and get back online. I let Paul sleep and figured we’d go back to setup the tent. After maybe a half an hour, here comes Paul in the door. However, he had broken down the tent and gotten [...]
Rise and shine. Nothing was damaged from the bear attack, even though I had accidentally left out a bag with toothpaste and the like in it. A park ranger made his way over to our section to see how we were doing and we told him about the bear. He was a [...]
Another post coming later today… Trying to catch up now that we’re back in civilization. Thanks for reading!
