I am currently in North Dakota and just obtained most of my gear for my 2014 NOBO thru hike attempt. I am close to Montana and have a pretty awesome work schedule where I am off for two weeks at a time. I was wondering if anyone in Montana, Idaho, Washington, ect would be interested in hiking with me for a few days sometime this summer/fall? The Badlands are awesome but not that great for shakedown hiking. Thanks in advance!
