50 mile day so far, resting up at a rest area 20 miles n of Hardin, my destination for today. 95+ degrees up here today, hot out there over the asphalt, but not as bad as TX, sunlight ain’t as intense up here.

Coming south from the Yellowstone River as I did I might be ballparking Custer’s route, so I’m experiencing slow and weary and hot on my way to the LBH, the wrong side of Hardin is supposed to be a rough town, so if’n I get stomped by Indians it’ll just complete the experience 🙂

LBH is just 14 miles from Hardin. Supposed to meet friends there mid morning tomorrow.
