Rest Day in Missoula, Montana: a good opportunity to update the blog!

We're concluding our rest day here in Missoula, MT, after 8 straight days of riding. Tomorrow we'll head out again, heading southeast with the destination of West Yellowstone, MT, after a few days. For now, please enjoy some pictures from the past few days as well as our rest day here.




The mountains surounding Missoula. High schools put their school letters up on the mountainside, so look for the "L" (left) and "M" (right) on the adjacent faces.

We ate lunch at the Staggering Ox in Missoula today.

A steer ranch as we entered Lolo, MT, on June 7



The border of Idaho and Montana at Lolo Pass (5,233 feet), where Pacific Time changed to Mountain Time and the temperature was in the low 40s. June 7.



The gorgeous Idaho countryside at elevation, looking towards the Blue Mountains on June 5.



Look for the big "C" on the top of the mountain. Taken in Clarkston, WA, on June 5 as we left for Idaho.

It is always something special to reach a new time zone when cycling across country. The open blue sky and cotton clouds in your photos touch through to my soul. Be safe. Jim
