<div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div style>Hello fellow hikers of great stride and stature,</div><div style><br></div><div style>After lurking for far too long on the cdt-l I'd like to come out into the open and say "Hello!" and "OMG I'm about to do something insane... again".</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>I'm very excited to be getting going on a SOBO CDT thru hike. I've done my homework and I'm in the last few days of putting it all away in boxes and saying farewell to good friends.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>AND my very good friend Jim "State Machine" Wiggins will be joining me for this adventure for at least as far as Rawlings WY. I'm the cute one but he's the funny one. ;)</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>You can follow me in a few too many ways at <a href="http://bnf.net/cdt">http://bnf.net/cdt</a></div><div style><br></div><div style>Grovus, Swiss Miss, others, I hope we do get to meet on trail. Let us know if you're looking for a way to get to the Belly River from East Glacier. We are coming in via Amtrak SAT 6/15 AM. We may have some options (or let us know if you've got something good lined up).<br>
</div><div style><br></div><div style>But most importantly, I'd like to put the invite out for the night of June 24th on trail between East Glacier and Benchmark. State Machine will be celebrating his birthday and it's a big one. Light refreshment and much jubilation provided.</div>
<div><br></div><div style>Happy packing SOBOers and hike well!</div><div style><br></div><div style>bluefoot</div><div style><br></div><div style>Ben Foote aka bluefoot</div><div style><div><a href="http://bnf.net/cdt">http://bnf.net/cdt</a></div>
