Trail Angel on the Wing
By Kathleen Meyer
July 2015
The unabashed writer Gail Storey—whose funny-horrendous-heroic memoir I Promise Not to Suffer: A Fool for Love Hikes the Pacific Crest Trail won her the National Outdoor Book Award—recently blew through my town, but not without a good visit. Just before she arrived, I howled through her book for the third time and have now settled on the idea to read it every year. Rereading, something I never do!) Gail is currently serving as Trail Angel for her husband Porter who began hiking the Continental Divide Trail at the Mexican border in March. Presently, he’s trekking the Anaconda-Pintler stretch here in Montana with a trail friend called Problem Bear, and Gail is stationed in Butte for her next rendezvous as the supply train . . . her version of the love train.

To learn more about Porter’s hike and their sometimes wild attempts to locate each other in the tall, wide country of the Divide, to enjoy spectacular CDT photos, and to meet crazy Amber with the pink hair, red shoes, and brazen nature, visit Gail’s Blog. You can catch it from the beginning by starting in her March ARCHIVES. For the next several weeks, as they head for the Canadian border, they’ll pound up and down the Scapegoat Wilderness, the Bob Marshall Wilderness, the Great Bear Wilderness, and, if wildfires permit, Glacier National Park. Sign up to receive Gail’s blog announcements and follow them along the way. It’s a great trip from the easy chair—no frozen toes, no surprise grizzly bears, no ouchie burrs in your britches!
