Yellowstone II

A fellow hiker wrote that "the divide is relentless".  It is.  The weather is low fifties, rain, and snow forecast for tonight.  Tomorrow is the same with the addition if thunderstorms.  That's hypothermia waiting to happen.  And yet I continue to be inspired by people I meet out here and it motivates me to hang in there and press on.  Today it was two guys in a pickup truck who gave us a ride back to Yellowstone.  They were ski lift mechanics and took us all the way, further than originally planned, because they wanted to help us on our adventure.  We've modified our hiking plans for the weather.  Sleeping Bare is still in the park so we have connected with him and will sleep in the RV tonight and tomorrow and play tourist.  We will continue hiking Sat the 23rd as it will begin to warm up.  It's nice to have this option to make a little progress but have a warm place to sleep.
