Friday night around 10:00 pm Leanne, Danni and my co-worker Gretchen (picture below) went for a run so that Danni could get an idea of the headlamp portion of Western States. Leanne brought us adult beverages for post-run consumption. Gretchen's husband did ask her if this was some strange initiation into the group. If so, she passed and it was great having her join us.

Read Danni's blog for more on this run and our day in Glacier... I've added some pictures below of the Avalanche run. The first is a glimpse of the beautiful weather we experienced,

The next is Danni crossing one of several streams, one of which is actually the trail. We eventually just gave up and plowed through the mud and water. The last is yet another badge of the trail. I just can't seem to avoid it.
