26mi

- Left town a late around 11am from the Island Lodge next to the Robins Roost grocery with Quicksilver and Apache. Quicksilver and I had to frozen pizzas for breakfast and felt sick going uphill out of town

- We are entering the sheep experimental zone today apparently.

- Leaving the Mack's Inn Alternate after a 10mi 3000ft roaded climb we bushwached for 5 straight miles. The end was the worse stretch where I found myself lost in a marshy bushy area where my legs kept brushing up next to stinging nettle. UGH.

- The sky has a strange haze today, likely due to the forest fires up north. I'm going to need to figure out how to hitch around. Or hope that the trail closures between Lima & Darby, MT about a 100mi section.

- Cowboy camped on top of Taylor Mountain. Might regret this even though the weather looks good.
