We made it over the 2 passes this morning - 48 miles unsupported after two 70+ days = enough. More cow fields and hills, but today we did it with company. The ACA group is still around, but we met up with this cool lady named Cheryl who is a state legislator and an at-risk high school English teacher. We talked up both passes, and it turns out she lives close to Glacier. She helped us figure out the route we'll be taking out of Missoula (which is awesome) and offered us a place to stay/shower just outside of the park. Gotta love good people. She's nearing the end of a 4-week tour around Montana. Bugs were bad between the two passes, and they're just finishing chip-sealing the road on that section. Downhills were great, though. Tonight we're camping behind the lodge in Jackson, and we have access to the lounge/bathrooms/showers and a hot springs that felt amazing. Dad just returned with an ice cream too, so I know where I'm headed next.
