After a busy month of advising at orientation for new students we were off on another adventure.....
Destination = Glacier National Park
Objective = backcountry hiking and camping
Gear = our house (a.k.a. tent), sleeping pads and bags, fuel to cook, lots of food, first aid kit, water pump, toilet paper, and the all important bear spray.
Goal = fit it all into the green and blue backpacks you see towards the top left of the picture and be able to carry it on our backs for 40+ miles of hiking. Now that's a vacation!
Mode of transportation = Amtrak train, the Empire Builder route. We boarded at the Minneapolis/St. Paul station close to midnight.
Woke up the next morning somewhere in North Dakota. I think we were in the second to the last car of a long train.
Here I am in our "roomette." Our 4 X 6 foot sleeper cubicle.
