Rich here ... Jason checked in this morning. He arrived in East Glacier at about 10:30 MDT. The camp sites the Park Service had assigned him to made it so that he only could hike a half day each day, so he finally decided to hike past one yesterday, and gain one day of hiking. This evening he called Cindy. He found Machine and Step. They hiked the PCT in 2010, and Jason has always wanted to catch up with them, even though he did meet Step on the PCT briefly, but never Machine. They will be having dinner together, and then heading back on the trail tomorrow. He plans to hike with them for the next few days. Step has a Spot that he triggers often, so we can follow that.

Oh yes ... Jason saw his first Grizzly Bear! I guess it was a close encounter. He says he has it on video, so will see if we can post it later. And, I'm sure the story wll be better told by him.
Cindy will be mailing Jason's first resupply box tomorrow, along with his Bounce Box.
