Land of the Big Sky leads to the Lewis & Clark Trail

(From Denise)
Montana's "Land of the Big Sky" delivered daily......rain, thunder, a midnight electrical thunderstorm that drove us from our tent to our car, rainbows and incredible sunsets!







Last Sunday's Ride from Dillion to Sula....3 Mountain Passes, 105 miles
Over Badger Pass


 to Big Hole Valley Pass 


and finally over Chief Joseph Pass



Monday's rainy ride led to Lolo Pass 
and then Tuesday into Idaho on the Lewis & Clark Trail



Wednesday through the Nez Perce Reservation



led to Lewiston on the Clearwater River. 
Tomorrow into Washington and then Saturday...Oregon, our 12th and final state!
We're in the final days of this incredible adventure and the past couple of weeks have been challenging.  Yesterday's high was 104, today 99.  I've never run a marathon, but these last days remaining must be similar to the last few miles of a marathon.  
Thank you to everyone who is praying us safely to the coastline, and then home.
