Today we were up and at ‘em at a crisp 5:30 for another day in the saddle. We were planning on stopping 12 miles away at some waterfalls for a breakfast picnic. The ride there was cold as usual and beautiful since we rode along the Kootenay River. When we got to the picnic spot, we hiked a little to the waterfalls and ate our packed goodies. The water was clear, and we would’ve jumped in had it not been 8 am and freezing!
From breakfast, we kept on riding and our eyes were indulged with the Rockies. The road we were on was nice and the miles went by quickly for the most part. At some point we took a break, after a nice break consisting of eating and more eating we hit the road, only to realize that Hugh had a flat.
As usual, I helped out with the flat while most watched, and once it was handled, we hit the road for real. From there we rode some more until we hit a small grocery store. It was making fresh sandwiches which is a must in my playbook. After the grocery store, we only had 10 more miles until the Idaho border! Montana was a great state with plenty of memories and beautiful scenery.
After crossing into Idaho we had a few more miles to go to where we’re staying, Clark Fork. The owner of a restaurant called Squeeze Inn is letting us camp on their lawn. We ate there for dinner and it was delicious! After our dinner, we wound down, preparing for a shorter day tomorrow.
See ya later, alligator!
