6/14/04 Waterton Lakes, Alberta, Canada
Got our permits today, sort of. Gottago, Spur, Apple Pie and I got our permits together. Yogi, Goof & Dewey showed up last night, we saw them this morning, then not again. So who knows what permit they got. We have one winter site on our itinerary, and winter sites are not available to more than 4 people a night, so we won't be seeing them there.
Part of the Highline trail, which is the part of the CDT I was really looking forward to, is still closed, but our detour is not too bad.
I'm not exited tonight, the night before my hike begins. Oh well. (David-will the absence of feeling be sufficient?)
Waterton Village is a village, complete with a chateau on the hill (the big house) and all the little people's houses and hotels down below. There's even a two-screen theatre here.
It's looking like it may rain tonight, so I won't be able to sleep out. Actually, I am sort-of sleeping out: Gottago and I are sleeping on picnic benches in a covered picnic area. Apple Pie and Spur have their tents up. Anish was kind enough to drive us up here. She hiked the AT and is working at Glacier for the summer.
Time to sleep.
