OMG I’ve been stopping to take photos all day and then the Jefferson River Canton turns out to be off the scale too, right after you ride past where L&C shot two elk in 1805 and where Father DeSmet celebrated Mass with the Salishe Indians in 1840. Campground was full, worked out a deal with a family from Tennessee where I bought the beer in return for sharing the campsite. 1:30am, everyone sleeping, beautiful moonlit night, poorwill calling from across the canyon. Long as we don’t get hit by a war party we’re good. Do the Blackfeet fight at night? I forget.

Leaves me only 10 to 11 hours of useful light, all I can manage, you prob’ly can ride a bike for longer than that.

Day 5: 38 miles 195 total. Disappointing day, held up repeatedly by storms training off the mountains to the SW. 6pm at Norris, brief break I make an attempt to make it a 50 mile day to Ennis. No such luck. Put up tent by the roadside in the nick of time. Gilligan’s frickin Island for the next thirty minutes. Just wind after that. Slept like a baby. Two hours (12 miles) to Ennis, 50-70 miles to the next for-sure town after that, will prob’ly be roadsiding it tonight again.

Met this couple when I was heading south out of Boulder, don't laugh, these folks are well known as Uber Studs among the long range bicycle crowd. They were travelling the Continental Divide Mountain Bike Trail south to north, most of it on dirt, IIRC 1,500 miles going days without seeing anyone, 72 days Who was asking about dogs? Weiner dogs fit on most any ATV..... Looking south down the Boulder River Valley.... This is actually a picture of a bird house. Mountain Bluebirds 120yo Catholic Church.....

Waiting out the rain with some Harley Riders from North Dakota. Jefferson River, Lewis & Clark and Co. camped here and shot two elk in 1805. 1840 Father Jean DeSmet celebrated Mass here for the Salish Indians. Jefferson River in the evening, campground was right here....

After demonstrating just how easily He coulda kicked my a$$, God sent a rainbow in the evening after the storm to indicate no hard feelings.... Campsite at first light..... Top of the hill this morning looking back, I stopped for the night a ways down from there... Might be without service for a bit the next couple of days. I will say I have AT&T which seems to work better'n anything else out here.

Thanks for taking the time to share your adventures with us. I’m not ashamed to admit that despite the age difference there’s no way on God’s green earth that I’d ride a bicycle and go to the trouble that you’re going through Birdy. I am more of “set the cruise control on the truck and enjoy the drive” kinda guy. I do admire your ambition! Have a safe rest of your journey. 👍 �Politicians are the lowest form of life on earth.
