Hi, just taking a minute to post this. No riding today, but I wanted to catch up on a few things I've been noticing but forgot to put in my blog.

1) It's spring in July in Montana & Wyoming. Lilacs, which bloom in PA in May, are just blooming here. Attests to the cold winters that people go through in the high mountains.

2) I crossed the Missouri River for the first time as I was going from Townsend to Ennis. I'll cross it again in South Dakota, many, many miles and a few mountain ranges from here (about 700 miles, I believe).
