7.00 PM Turned in all our excess clothes and boots and shoes today to get ready to move day after tomorrow.

(I sure would like to have some good old noodle soup)

Comments from Chris

We're getting close to moving day! Before I run out of posts I wanted to mention something I thought was interesting. The Continental Divide runs right through Glacier National Park. If you are not familiar with the Divide, this is place where on one side, water drains in to the Pacific Ocean and on the other, the Atlantic Ocean. This divide runs the length of North and South America. In the US, the divide is basically through the Rocky Mountain range.

Glacier National Park is home to Triple Divide Peak. One of the few places on Earth that can feed three oceans. The Laurentian Divide meets the Continental Divide here making a point that in addition to the Atlantic and Pacific, has runoff for the Arctic Ocean.

If you are feeling ambitious, you can hike the 3,100 mile Continental Divide Trail from New Mexico to Montana. This would be a great adventure!
