Journal:
Another decadent day off in Augusta for us. Breakfast at the motel's cafe after Julie went for a run, then planning, admin and some chores while watching the TV in the background.
We chatted with two CDT hikers who were hitchhiking back to the trail this morning, one of whom was an Australian we met way back in New Mexico nearly four months ago. Every time we think we may be the last of this season's northbound CDT hikers, some more appear from behind us.
We had an early dinner at the same bar in town followed by an early night. The next, and penultimate, leg of our hike will be 5-6 days through the famous Bob Marshall Wilderness (“the Bob”), which reportedly has superb and wild scenery along with a healthy population of grizzlies.
We have to hitch-hike from Augusta back to the trailhead in the morning and are a little apprehensive about how easy that will be. Fingers crossed!
