DAY 36


Paul gave us the day off today! It was so nice to be able to get some rest. We met him downtown at Nova Cafe for an 11:00 breakfast. Rachael isn't feeling well so she went home afterwards. I went next door and got 12 inches of hair cut off!!! I donated it to Locks-of-Love, which is a great non-profit organization that gives wigs to underpriveledged children. This is the second time that I've done it and I will grow out my hair again to donate. Please check out their website and considering donating: http://www.locksoflove.org/. In addition, they can take hair of any length (that hasn't been on the floor) to sell and benefit their cause. (I'm going to shock my parents tomorrow when they arrive, so don't tell them about my hair cut!)

In the afternoon I met up with a friend of mine from highschool, Dan Ryan. He's lived out here for a while and works for the Montana Conservation Crew. He's on the trail a lot so I haven't gotten to spend any time with him. We drove out to Hyalite and hiked to Grotto Falls & Arch Falls. It started to thunderstorm a little bit but it felt great! It has been so hot outside lately. Also, forest fire season has begun. The mountains are covered in a hazy smoke. I almost started crying when I walked outside this morning because it looks so depressing. I hate that my parents will have to see it like this when it's been so beautiful all summer! My parents left from Freeburg, IL this morning and they will be making their way across the country in their RV to visit me and to check out this awesome place.

Tonight, we went to Columbo's Pizza for dinner. I had heard good things about it and now I see why! Then we went up to Peet's Hill to watch the sun go down over Bozeman. I will really miss this place.
