Today we rode to Whitefish, Montana. Most of the ride was along route 93 with a 14 mile repreave along rolling back country roads just before arriving in Whitefish. There were beautiful ranches with large ornate iron gates blocking their long driveways. The countryside continues to be beautiful.
The weather continues hot. We are so surprised that this far north and this high up (reached 3,000 ft today) can be so hot. We were up at 5 and on the road by 6:30 in order to get off the road early.

Whitefish is an iconically western town with a decidedly "western" atmosphere. It's a nice town with interesting shops, restaurants, and friendly people. It will be a great place to spend a hot day off the road. We have also been introduced to huckleberries - berries that the locals claim only grow in the Northwest and in the wild. They remind us of wild blueberries except that they are a little larger. We enjoyed huckleberries in ice cream, smoothies, and pie. All very good!
Oh! We have both enjoyed our very own bathroom with bath tub and shower. Finally we are back in civilization.

Sounds lovely, and tomorrow's ride-less odoriferous!
