Zero Number One
6/19/04
What a great idea to take an early zero. My feet appreciate it. I'm not too sore, but I'm sure my body appreciates it too.
There's a frighteningly decorated Italian restaurant here at the Swiftcurrent Motor Lodge in Glacier National Park that has food that's much better than the decor would otherwise indicate. We've spent a lot of time in the restaurant, mostly because it has lots of journaling surface.
All four of us have PocketMail, and one or another of us is usually running off to the phone once during an extended meal. I'm really enjoying the company of Gottago, Spur, and Apple Pie. The people I meet on the trail always surprise me, but that should be no surprise.
There's no Internet here in Many Glacier, so we are somewhat limited in what we can accomplish.
There are four of us in a small hotel room and the biggest issue is the smell of my feet. All the shoes are in the closet, and that seems to be keeping noses happy.
I'm actually writing this many days later, and on reflecting on the time in Many Glacier, that day and that time seems from a part of my hike when things were simpler.
