Hello from St. Ignatius, Montana! I’m trying to get this published quickly so I can get back on the trail, so it’s just going to be a flurry of pictures. I’ll try to update with more narrative next time, but needless to say the big highlight this time was having Wendy surprise me on trail to spend a few days together as I walked from Washington, through the Idaho panhandle and into Montana! Best days on any trail, ever! Here’s to wishing you a sunny trail! Max<\/p>\n\n\n\n
