Out of the Mountains (Aug 19)

Got an early start, but only made 28 miles in the first 5 hours. Cold and hilly riding conditions but things got better as I crossed the Continental Divide and moved to the high plains. I reached Cut Bank at around 5:15 and ate at McDonalds. I left at 6:30 and pulled off the road in a field to camp at about 8:30. I'm done with the bears and now I'm watching out for snakes (although I can hear a couple of coyotes close by). I'm also done with the long mountain climbs for now, but I may be looking at a lot of head winds for the next few weeks? I hope to make Harve tonight which is about 110 miles away.

My iPad battery is almost done so I may be a few days getting anything out.
