Cut Bank MT. June 14 - 15.

It started raining just after we got our tents set up, and it has been raining ever since, and the temperature is in the 40's and low 50's. Very windy. There has been a constant 15 - 30 mph wind, and our campground is high on the edge of a bluff. We are currently ahead of schedule since we had to take an alternate around Logan Pass due to snow. We are taking a much needed rest day today, and will push on eastward tomorrow, probably with a strong tail wind. Cut Bank is on the edge of the Blackfoot Indian reservation. Montana has small casinos all over the place. Wisconsin has a bar on every corner: Montana has a Bar/Casino on every corner (I exaggerate of course, but all bars are also a casino).

I lost my favorite shirt at the last campground...It will be hard to replace until we get to a big town. We are definitely out of the mountains...It is 'all' down hill to the Mississippi. We are expecting dry hot weather as we ride through the northern plains of Montana and North Dakota.
