I&#8217;ve met way too many hikers to recall all the names, but some of them include Bootscoot,  D*ckhead,  Data, Dyno DNA, Etch-a-Sketch, Picky, Cheesus, Hemlock, Wide Sky, Blasphemy, Twigsy, Toast, Everest, Seeker, Really Sorry, Wrong Way, General Burnside, Roadrunner, Smiles, Fuzz and many, many others. It took me a while to get used to being a &#8220;team of one&#8221; again, but I&#8217;ve settled into it nicely and am enjoying it daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190724_141055-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190724_141055-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190724_141055-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190724_141055-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Views like this never get old<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190730_122941-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-702\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190730_122941-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190730_122941-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190730_122941-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Yeah, these make good resupply&#8230;they NEVER seem to go bad in the food bag<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"360 View\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p1I2yWqAxaw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190803_112736-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190803_112736-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190803_112736-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190803_112736-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Yet another size 13 mushroom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190803_184717-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190803_184717-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190803_184717-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190803_184717-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Lost two hats in the past week, but methinks this one is a keeper.

The hitchhike into town was 30 miles and I ended up waiting on the road for about 30 minutes before I got a ride from Obie, a cross country traveler on vacation from Hawaii, ha! I am spending a &#8216;zero&#8217; day here (no hiking) as I had a bit of a medical concern I needed to get checked out. The area around one of my vertebrae has swollen to the point where it looks like I have golf ball partially embedded in my spine. It wasn&#8217;t hurting but obviously I needed to know if it was a serious problem. It turns out to be a benign cyst which can be removed at any time via a very simple procedure done in the office. They offered to do it today but then I&#8217;d have stitches that would need time to heal to avoid risking infection on the trail. They indicated I can defer the procedure until the hike is done without any risk of damage or other concerns, so that is the plan. If it really starts bothering me more I may just have to hole up in a hotel for a few days and have it done, but hopefully not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190807_175855-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-716\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190807_175855-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190807_175855-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190807_175855-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>On the edge of the Bridger Teton wilderness<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190807_164416-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-715\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190807_164416-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190807_164416-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190807_164416-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>How green was my valley<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190807_084053-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190807_084053-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190807_084053-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/maxheap.net\/cdt2019\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/20190807_084053-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Yep, crossed this stream on that beige colored log, well over six feet above the stream in the middle.
