Nimblewill Nomad - Odyssey 2010 - PNT - Part 3

July 27, Eureka, Montana, to August 5, Metaline Falls, Washington

This segment begins with the Nomad in the Kootenai National Forest, only a few more days for this portion of the Northwest Pacific Trail before leaving the state of Montana. He pauses for a brief encounter with wildlife before heading on down the trail. The Nomad then passes on into Idaho, and is making a climb up Parker Peak, in the Selkirk Mountain Range, trekking now in the Kaniksu National Forest. As he continues his upward hike, he pauses along the razor back ridge, with 2,000+ foot drop-off to either side, to provide us with some beautiful panoramic imagery. A few days later, as he is finishing out the Selkirk Mountains, he leaves Idaho behind and crosses into Washington, and the beautiful Salmo Priest Wilderness, Colville National Forest, on his way to Metaline Falls.

@gypsietraveller When the Nomad has trail support (someone who follows along and meets up at the end of specific hiking days throughout the journey) he is often able to set up a camping stove and cook stews, spaghetti, etc. At other times, with weight being an important factor, he takes along peanut butter, crackers, cheese, cold hot dogs, and sweet treats. As for clothes and gear used during a particular hike, each odyssey has a gear list posted to show what is carried in his backpack.
