Calling Home



Yes, the cell phone always seems to work in the larger Montana towns. No satellite telephone required as when I was walking through northern Alaska. The convenience allows me to call home virtually every day.After a full day of walking I am generally ready for a hotel between 4:30 and 6:30 PM. Then I shower, shave [I still don’t like a white beard], and call home. Knowing the home fires are kindling well can instantly put me to sleep. I know, however, that with a long day always ahead that I must eat, and pleasingly, also drink, a little. After the call off I go, drinking, eating but alas I am too weary to be merry. Good night Montana!

P.S. – This P.M. I got caught in a heavy rainstorm on the east side of Ennis, Montana. I did not have my water proof suit on. It was cold. The only good thing, the return trip was all downhill.

Calling Home



OK, I do meet a lot of people along the road. They are a real treat. Each is unique pleasingly breaking up long days walking on the road. As the sun descends, the trucks go to sleep, the tourists’ rest, as hunger begins to talk to me and as the body says “take a rest for God’s sake!” I seek refuge. I look for a familiar experience. I wish, in a way, I were somewhere else. That’s when I call home and speak to the love of my life, Doris.
