[cdt-l] wondering when everyone is starting

[jon stewart]

Basmati here...

I am looking at starting a little later-around the 30th of June from Waterton.  I am only hiking through to Yellowstone this year so can afford to start a little later to miss the snow and swat a few more mosquitos. 

 Anybody else looking at hiking through the bear zone about this time this coming summer?  

Like most hikers, I am quite flexible, but my ride to Glacier isn't until June 28th.

they stay favorable then rather than try to move the start date forward I 
like to think the odds of doing the Highline Trail are higher than normal. 
If the snows are low and the Highline Trail is possible, then I might even 
delay the start a couple of days to try it, rather than move up the start 
date and take a lower route. YMMV.
