I wish I could at least remember his name.  &lt;sigh&gt;  On the way we stopped at a railroad yard and I helped him hook up a big compressor to the back of his pickup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had 3 hours before the bus to Missoula arrived, so I spent the time eating and going through my pack contents under a tree in front of a bank next to the gas station\/bus stop.  I had a bottle of Permethrin that Barb had sent to East Glacier, so I took this opportunity to spray some of my clothes.  I&#8217;m sure the bank wasn&#8217;t thrilled to have a homeless guy hanging his clothes in the tree in front of their building, but the nice thing about being hiker trash is that I really don&#8217;t care.   The bus was right on time. \u00a0This was a smaller bus (short bus), but the driver kept it rolling right along.  I\u00a0have reservations\u00a0at the Comfort Inn in Missoula.\u00a0 I plan to Uber there from the bus station. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had breakfast with Eeyore at the Glacier Diner, then picked up my two packages from the Trading Post next door and made a sign that said &#8220;South&#8221;.&nbsp; I said goodbye to Eeyore and stood<a class=\"excerpt-readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodpeeps.com\/ProbablyLost\/day-91-7-12-19-my-first-hitches-to-missoula\/\">&hellip;Continue Reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-353","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-pintlers-anaconda-to-darby"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goodpeeps.com\/ProbablyLost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/353","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goodpeeps.com\/ProbablyLost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goodpeeps.com\/ProbablyLost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goodpeeps.com\/ProbablyLost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goodpeeps.com\/ProbablyLost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=353"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.goodpeeps.com\/ProbablyLost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/353\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2406,"href":"https:\/\/www.goodpeeps.com\/ProbablyLost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/353\/revisions\/2406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goodpeeps.com\/ProbablyLost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=353"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goodpeeps.com\/ProbablyLost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=353"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goodpeeps.com\/ProbablyLost\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=353"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
