2 1/2 hours to get through and clear of Billings. I noticed this morning that my red cotton overshirt is white with salt from the sweat of the last two days.

Don’t feel salt cravings but I’m “salting up” (adding my NaCl and KCl mix to fountain drinks) at the last chaotic truck stop at the edge of town.
