My parents received a call from Lauren today. Things are still going well, sun is shining and it hasn't rained yet. The nights have been rather chilly. They had a pretty sweet wildlife encounter today. Along the trail Laura saw one bear that Lauren didn't, and then they saw too right near their shelter. I don't know, I would be freaking out. They're still a day ahead of schedule, which is good news and they are still hiking with pink fire. That's about all that's going on. Have a good night.
