Over the Mountains to New Challenges

We have made it across the Cascades and the Rockies! As you can see from the picture, it was not easy! After a memorable worship service yesterday morning, with the Rockies as a backdrop, everyone spent the remainder of the day resting and enjoying the Glacier National Park. It was a much appreciated day off the bicycle seats!

Today we started out heading across the plains of Montana. No mountains, but new challenges--we faced sweltering heat today. One of our riders bike computers said it was 111 degrees f.. Whether or not that was accurate, the fact was it was blazing hot. We all made it fine, though, but were glad to get a shower and out of the heat.

We continue to meet and share with all sorts of people--train enthusiasts, retired cruise ship captains, waitresses, forest service people, every sort imaginable. Tonight we will do a presentation in Cut Bank, MT.

Thanks everyone! I love this site, blog entries and photos! You were such a blessing here in Cut Bank! I hope more towns are as fortunate as we are to get you!

We especially enjoyed the 4 we got to keep. Thanks for being such fun guests! :)

We'll keep praying for the rest of your trip!

Hey there you crazy people! Hang in there.

Pass on our greetings to Dan Chapin and his son, as well as the Luedtkes.

By the way, if those 5 flats were on Paul L's bike, you should check his fanny pack for ice picks.

We hope to intersect with you in Illinois - see you then.
