<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>I did that in 2005 and am doing it again this summer. It is about 175 miles and they are, for the most part, pretty easy. The route finding wasn’t a big issue and I made it to Lincoln in 7 days and a morning. I didn’t see the reason for a Benchmark stop, unless one was going into Helena (North or South). Words and photos about the EG->Lincoln stretch can be found at:<BR>

Glacier and Lincoln in one trip and bypass Benchmark. I wanted to do that <BR>
but the hikers I was with at the time would not hear of it so I ended up <BR>
spending one night at Benchmark. Next time, if this cancer thing works out <BR>
ok, I'm skipping Benchmark and just pushing on through.<BR>
