Another day

Good news:  Another 12 miles today.  Bad news:  We have to walk back those same 12 miles tomorrow.  :( 
We neglected to find out if the water pumps would be working at each campsite (although all the information we read says they aren't stopped until mid November).  We got to our 1st camp and - no water.  Called headquarters and they said all pumps shut down due to govt shutdown.   Now that they are back in business all water has to be tested (2week process) and they may not turn them back on now until next spring.
We are walking back to Great Falls tomorrow, and Liz, bless her, is picking us up.  This is a tough one as my left foot is getting really bad as well.   Stay tuned....

  2. Come on Roach, didnt you bring any bromine to help purify that water? Add that to the list, but don't forget the Gas-X.
