Thunderstorms have been rolling in afternoons, hot & muggy – but watching the rain on the horizon from the ridge is magical.Things u find on trail – live ammo. Ground score?Sharing the trail with the bovines. Near Dana spring after a 20 mike dry stretch…I dunno why they call them butterflies… all I ever see them eat are thistle and turds 💩 Met a nice young fella named Gator – he’s already 1500 miles in having hiked the Idaho Centennial Trail & connected to the CDT southbound via the Pacific Northwest Trail. Iz pleasant to have some company for a few days. Ridge walking into Helena…
