"and they fell in love..." so great!!!!! Just got back from the trail hitch at Glacier National Park and it's great to see the trip is going well so far! I can't wait to read all the posts and get all caught up on your particulars. My crew was pretty spectacular and boy, do I have some stories. Long version-short, my co-leader was a nightmare, impossible to deal with, and my guess is that her meds were off. Anywho- I CAN'T WAIT to catch up and we'd better plan on some serious visit. Bombay and tonic in your honor for sure!!!!
