The days just get better and better! 52 degrees this AM, clear MT sky and a TAILWIND all the way to Culbertson! Leaving Wolf Point about 8, we were here by noon. Everyone had fun today just ambling along or flying - whatever felt good. I think we only had 2 hills which were close to the finish. . . We began seeing the Missouri River more often over in the distance. I stopped to take a photo of a Presbyterian Church sign and the church (churches are few and far between), and got an added bonus for my 1/4 mile walk down a gravel road. Behind the church was a sign announcing a Lewis & Clark landing at that river site in 1805! Neat. . . The entire route today was on the Ft. Peck Indian Reservation. Some of us stopped at a crossroads grocery for bottled Starbucks and met Jamie who is full blooded Assiniboine Indian. He works for the Bureau of Indian Affairs Fire Department and really enjoyed talking to the ladies who thought he was quit handsome. After he drove away, two guys on Harleys pulled in and enjoyed the commaraderie no less.
Again today we were back and forth on Rt. 1 and Rt. 2. The backroad (Rt. 1) was lovely and had no traffic - a few gravel spots but that was OK. I just stopped and brushed off my fragile tires after crossing each patch. Altogether, today was a perfect cycling day. . . I rolled down Main St. (Broadway) and found the library in Culbertson. Answered a few emails (no wi-fi tonight) and visited with the librarian. After 35 years in a one room facility, she now has a very nice 2500 sq. ft. shared building and is loving the improvement. I found her signage to be quite amusing.
Well, our info must be a little out-of-date, as we do seem to have wi-fi. I usually type in WordPad and cut/paste to the blog. :))
Carolyn did a good job today with SAG support.
