So tomorrow I leave to embark on this backpacking trip I have been fretting about. I am not in good enough shape but am really excited. So I am trying to let my positive mental energy carry me on. :)
Go to these links and check out the pictures that were just taken in mid July! Yikes.

The brief run down is this: Hiking from Sat to Wed, 5 days, 4 nights, although this is totally dependent on how much snow there is once we get back there! About 40 miles total with 9, 10.5, 8, 7, 6.5 on each respective day. Or something like that. I am trying to pack way minimal of course. But it might be cold!
With all the luck in the world I will be back in 1.5 weeks with lots of great pictures and a wonderfully epic story. And lots of harcore points obviously. :)
After we come off the trail I am going to spend a day floating and laying prone in the river as much as possible before heading over the mountains to the Targhee Bluegrass Festival. Once there it's all music, GnS' (gin n soda), and late nights. And then home on Monday the 11th.
That is so many days off. Rock on! See ya'll when August is half over. Where the hell did the summer go?
