Day 43- polebridge hostel

I woke up to a beautiful sunrise and swarms of mosquitos. That meant once I had started packing up I couldn't stop or else I would get eaten alive. So I packed up quick and set off to put in a big day. I hiked the whitefish divide and got both some great views and some great huckleberries. The ridges I hiked on were very dry and I ran out of water many times. It was not terrible as I was never out of water for too long. In the beginning I met a nice guy clearing the trail and he was my first human interaction since eureka. I have noticed I have become very content and easily entertained by myself. I made it in to polebridge in the late evening. I got a burger and a beer at the cafe along with a slice of amazing huckleberry pie. Then I checked in to the hostel. Polebridge is a tiny town that is for tourists. It is set up similar to an old mining town. There is no power or internet except from solar power. This made it impossible to charge my electronics. I will be on the lookout for a place to charge up before I set our into the wilderness tomorrow. I will leave tomorrow morning and go to the ranger station to get my permit to camp with the grizzlies in glacier national park.
