Long drive so I was glad I had a rest day in there before I started. It is flat and boring on this ride. I stayed the night in a free campground at Fort Peck Reservoir at a beautiful spot by the lake. I had no complaints until dusk when I was attacked by mosquitoes. Oh my gosh! I locked into the van...thankfully I had my screen door because it was hot. I don’t remember killing so many bugs on one day in my life. I had finished dinner and cleanup so stayed in for the rest of the night.
On Monday morning as I drove through Montana, I saw a fire along the roadside. I realized that it had jumped the road just in front of me but I stupidly followed the guy before me right through it. Luckily nothing bad happened but I soon was meeting lots of fire trucks and fire personnel hitting the road. That one was new for me. What should I have done? Stopping wouldn’t work and it was difficult to turn around. Maybe stopped and back but there were cars coming up behind me.
I made it through customs fairly uneventfully. She did ask me if I had been to Canada this year and of course I had...on a bicycle. Once I gave the right answer she was good to let me go. Interesting.
Note that I saw some dinosaurs along the road in Montana. How about that? Arrived at Waterton Park. Wished I had planned a week there. More about that later.
