When we left off, I was on my way for a beer. It occurred to me in the bar that Lincoln was the home of Ted Kaczynski. I am pretty sure that his brother was in the bar last night. We shot a little pool then I retired - tried the hammock again last night. It was a warm evening, and I plugged in Episode 10 of Breaking Bad (thanks to Mose who had a bootleg copy downloaded). After drifting off, the same result in the end - the night got cold and the bottom of the hammock provides no insulation, so burrr.
Today's ride had some crazy steep climbs, but some great rewards...
The woods gave way to cattle country - lots and lots of cattle country. And lots and lots of cattle.
There really is no way to describe the amazing sights and stunning scenery that we have already seen on this trip. Photos don't do it. I can't describe it in words. And when you earn the views, it makes them all that much better.
We are in Helena tonight. I have never been so glad to stay at a Holiday Inn! Real beds, AC (which we need today as temps in the 90s!) and a nice little town to wander around in. Heading out for steak at the Silver Star soon, then we get to sleep in until 8 and hit the all-you-can-eat breakfast in the AM before a 9 o'clock start. We will definitely be checking out Blackfoot River Brewery as well tonight.
Off to Butte tomorrow. A rest day Sunday, so who knows what we will scare up on a Saturday night on the long weekend.
