Posted on July 12, 2011 by Hailey

Last night I barely slept due to mozzys buzzing around me in the hostel, and it was too hot to zip into my bag, so I mostly just got bit. Also there are tons of firecrackers going off as it … Continue reading →

I was woken up today by the dulcet tones of Chance puking his guts out. He got food poisoning from something yesterday. Fortunately, I felt fine. We only had 10 miles to go to town in East Glacier but it … Continue reading →
