.. sincerely self loathing from Alaska. I have been told many times... among the biggest problems on the Rez is others tearing ya down every time ya get ahead, which is a big part of the reason so many have to leave. So you left the rez when you were younger to get ahead? I'm sorry you had to leave your people Not me, the people who told me.

The cattle pictured look to be Corriente
copy/paste - Corriente cattle are a breed of Criollo cattle descended from Spanish animals brought to the Americas as early as 1493. They are primarily used today as sport cattle for rodeo events such as team roping and bulldogging (steer wrestling).

I differ from many cyclists in that I believe if I get hit its ALWAYS gonna be my fault, for being out there on a bicycle on a public roadway. Therefore its my responsibility to keep that from happening. IMHO the cyclist shoulda known the nature of the road and bailed clear off of the pavement, leastways that's what I like to think I woulda done. Even I ain't 100% every time. I would also like to think I could do this at age 70, if I make it that far.

In the same way that hay appears to be a major cash crop, even irrigated, all across Montana. A lot of livestock gotta require supplemental feeding in the wintertime.

Birdman post a pic of your rig. Ive been going thru the thread off and on and haven't seen one. Here it was in Ireland three years back, ain't changed since then. ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/4624/26064837668_96381bb030_b.jpg) An '89 Schwinn Voyageur steel-frame touring bike, everything switched out except the frame, front and rear deraillieurs and the downtube friction shifters. lakes of Killarney?
...Actually Sycamore, you are sort of right....

And a concluding shot from later that day, me retracing my route of the previous day in the copilot seat of the USS Enterprise AKA my buddy's motor home, on our way back to Great Falls..... ![[Linked Image]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48373353022_8f7dc83a0f_k.jpg) Stuff like that is tough on my brain. I once spent a rough 10 days covering 75 miles on a backpacking trip. We did that on the drive home in a little over an hour.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.

Reluctantly leaving a week of comfortable idleness here in GF to set out 140 miles north and east to the Hi Line, might be out of touch for a few.

Could happen. How could I visit Montana with cycling to the Hi-Line? Seriously running out of time here tho, my bike ships out Monday, however far I get my buddy is gonna come get me, drive me back to GF.
I would like to ride to the Canuck border but I dunno that time permits.

you ought to shake Big Jims hand, or mitt or paw, if you're that close. Havre's got to be the next town over. (how far can it be.....?  )

Hell Big Jim is only 30-45 min away by truck. A trip to the border from where you're at is going to be a long boring ride to find out it looks exactly the same. But if you feel froggy head up to the Y, take the left and haul ass. No shoulder, but not much traffic either. Just make sure you wave, as it's still custom there.
