Eureka, MT

We've been heading West and North out of Glacier NP which has taken us through Whitefish enroute to Eureka.  The scenary has been stunning and the mountains seem to go on forever...
It is great to have Bonnie with us as we can meet for lunch like we did here in Whitefish...
We crossed the Flathead River...
Which seems to be a popular camping spot...
Today, we took off towards Eureka...
And found some more rural art...
 a black rabbit...
And more bike packers than we have seen anywhere else...
We dropped this group no problem...

We found another Great Northern Caboose...
As we rolled into Eureka...

And took a break at the Montana Market...
 where a reporter approached us and asked if he could ask us a crazy question.  We obliged and we're excited to hear the crazy question which turned out to be not so crazy; "what do you do to beat the heat?"....really?  He was not very interested in our bike adventure which may be due to all the bike travellers that come through.

We took a left out of town and headed towards Kootenai National Forest...
And Koocanusa Lake...
We road along the Lake shore the rest of the day...
Until we met up with Bonnie at the Rocky Gorge Recreation site...
And went for a very refreshing swim after a hot ride...

Fergus Falls, MN

The pictures from today are beautiful but this was probably the hardest ride we have had the entire adventure.  We pulled out of Alexandria.... Got back on the trail and headed northwest to Fergus Falls... It was great when we had the green tunnel but those stretches of trail were few and far between (we already miss the deciduous forest!)... And when we were not in the green tunnel we were totally exposed... We took a break in Dalton (the little blue dot above is us)...where the strapped down trash can was even blown over! And then headed back into the wall of wind... We did not even have to use our brakes to stop! We arrived in Fergus Falls totally spent... Having earned every foot of these 51.2 miles...

Anacortes, WA

Our last couple of rides were stunningly beautiful with a crisp on shore breeze.  We left the mountains but we could still see the snow covered peaks... We rode from Marblemount, WA along the Skagit River, West towards the Pacific... The forest was full of lichens and mosses... We hopped on a green tunnel in Concrete (Henry is in this photo)... That took us almost all the way to Burlington where we snuck into town on the levee... On our final, mostly ceremonial ride, we took a few back roads towards Anacortes... And quickly found ourselves riding along the ocean... We reached the bike path that takes you into town... We biked through town and made our way to the beach racing each other up the small hills when we came upon a wonderful surprise... Our friends The Maley's were at the beach with Tibetan Prayer flag
