Ouch

Awoke in the lovely guest room of bonnie's and we were not afloat. The river outside the window was quite close and the cows trapped between the house and the river were quite upset. Some cow crying during the night. They sounded anxious. Said our thanks and goodbyes. She was great even offering us gorillas for breakfast.
Left in a slight drizzle but that was all we got for the day. The ride was all uphill to lewistown. 40 miles. Unfortunately for the mom there were some areas of road construction. Very wet and muddy and uphill. into this mess she decided to fall off of beauty. Mud baths are good for you aren't they. Not too much damage, just a scraped up knee. Wanted to cry but kept going. Last 6 miles into town were into a strong crosswind. Very hard and slow. Today we saw many mule deer, pheasants and of course cattle. Mooooo Need to also mention that we saw an antelope a couple days ago. Anyway pulled into lewistown and everywhere you look there are sandbags. I feel we need to sandbag the tent. Tomorrow a long climb the first seven miles. The wind is to continue. If you look at a map you will see we are halfway through MT. This state does not stop. Off to winnet tomorrow.
