While everyone was celebrating Independence Day, these guys crossed the border into the United States! MattyRedrock has done an excellent job in communicating pictures, happenings and location to Corinne, so here is the latest!
They made it through Big Sky Country, Montana, where MattyRedrock sent this picture. I cannot even begin to imagine how it feels to take in this kind of beauty daily. This picture was taken on the way to Fernie, while taking a water break from a natural spring coming right out of the mountain.
Matt's text continued to say: "Scarecrow had a few mechanical issues that needed to be tended to, so we lost the first half of the day while his bike was in the shop. We are in Eureka, Montana right now in a Conocco station mini mart." The guys' plan is to take the back country trail the next day, and finally be off of the highway. I am sure they are done riding next to the semi trucks traveling 80 mph next to them. They were looking to make Tuchuck campground for the night and then push forward to Whitefish, Montana after that. MattyRedrock did text that they had more grizzly activity, so let's hope it is from afar, and they are not looking to get up close and personal!!
Thanks to MattyRedrock's awesome pictures, we are able to see the beauty they are surrounded by. Just keep pedaling, guys! We, at home, are so very proud of both of you and all that you have taken on with this journey! SAFE and HAPPY trails to you both! For our readers, here is their latest CHECKPOINT.
Until next time,
Corinne & The Thruhiker's Wife
