5:30pm Cardwell MT at the gas station on the Interstate, I’m just crossing it this time not following. 5 1/2 hours for 33 miles, mostly downhill, but was bucking a strong headwind all the way. Plus I stopped and slept for an hour in the grass by the roadside.

The road followed the Boulder River Valley, interesting ride, and I swear in Montana ya want to stop and take a photo every 100 yards.

7 miles (1 hour) to Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park, 128 miles to Yellowstone, there’s a storm where I wanna go right now, gonna have to sit here and wait it out, four hours of daylight remaining.
