Journal:

We had a low-key day, which was just what we needed.  Julie, of course, got in a morning run while Dave caught up on his sleep, then it was the usual day of chores, admin and planning done at a relaxed pace.

We now have our days for the next month tentatively mapped out, including finding our way around a newl trail closure because of a new wildfire north of Helena.  The end of our journey, likely October 1st, is starting to feel real.  Although we are both ready for the hardships to end, we both know we will be wishing we were back here before long so are determined to savour these last weeks.

After an early dinner at the same bar in town where we had lunch yesterday (everywhere else was closed), we had an early night and will be back on the trail early tomorrow.
