Pinedale Nero

It was just a nero and yet so relaxing and enjoyable.  It started out with a tummy breakfast with the gang.  They left for the trail right after and we went about our chores.  We took our time, at the campground, stopped at the outfitter, and made use of the wifi at the library.  The library had comfy couches, tables, magazines to read and if course a lot if books.  Before heading back to the trail we went to the Wind River Brew pub for a late lunch.  It was by far the best on trail meal I have had.  I've been craving a healthy homey meal for some time.  So I ordered the steak which came with bruss sprouts and a baked potato.  Delicious!  Then Pounce and I split a slice of cheesecake.  By this time it was. 6:30 at night and we knew our chances of getting to the trailhead were slim.  A dead end road on Saturday night?  Yep, we got a ride.  A young boy in a sports car stopped and gave us a ride.  He wasn't going up there but said he had nothing else planned and liked meeting new people.  So we hiked in a mile and camped.  We are in grizzly bear country and it's required to hang your food in the Bridger Wilderness.  Also a great idea. We are both carrying bear spray as well. For the first time in a while I didn't feel the pull of town or drag my feet when leaving. The northern winds are going to be awesome.  Next stop Dubois.
