Day FiftyOne, August 7, 18 Miles
At Mile 1027.5, Poptart 355/1000
Massive thanks to Naomi for all her help in Dubois. Got back up to Brooks Lake and started with DnA and Lost. One mile later we were drinking beer and chatting to two friendly gentlemen with big plans. Trail is kind of vague and rarely marked around here. Mostly cross country past Lava Mountain, avoiding the lava. Of course. Fun piece of trail actually. I really enjoy being 'lost'. Fighting our way through two metre high willow we all lost each other. Emerging we realised Anna was nowhere in sight. Calling her name received response from only a cow. Ran into RT and Myke and some rain. More vague trail but really nice hiking, especially in the post storm afternoon and sunset evening light. Lost and I decided on the history of the Jackalope, it has all the key ingredients of a literary classic. It's also a secret for character protection. Dug a hole and enjoyed another wondrous Teton view. I have The Fear (not having enough food for the section). Camped by Leeds Creek deep in a pine thicket. Choopy vagueness is the result of me being in the middle of a marathon journal catchup. New Donnis mixtape...
