Land o' Lakes?










Today's ride was pretty awesome. It was all rolling terrain with grassy woods (some parts more open than others) and a ton of lakes + rivers. 76 miles total in to Big Fork. We've entered into logging country and talked to one of the log truckers during a break today. Twas cool. This morning reminded me of a mix of the ride between the Tetons and Yellowstone and the ride through Arapaho back in Colorado. All in all, very pretty. after about 70 miles, we did (finally) stop to play in the Swan River. It felt absolutely amazing, and I was seriously considering swimming the last couple of miles. There was a dam directly downstream, so it's a good thing I didn't try.
Two amusing things for the day: a mule deer standing directly beside a deer crossing sign and Dad bouncing down the road to Flight of the Bumblebees.
Cool thing: people were nice and one dude did offer us cherries, peaches, and plums (delicious)
