Prettiest Day So Far

Wow! What a gorgeous day! Montana is so beautiful.  

We left our B&B in Condon and headed south down the 83 for 7 miles and then turned left towards Holland Lake. From Holland lake we climbed over 2,500 ft with beautiful vistas behind us. We stopped at Clearwater Lake to have lunch and watched a family of loons across the lake. As we neared the top of the climb the road turned to single track through Aspen groves that were  prime grizzly bear country. Both Doug and I were blowing our whistles to let them know we were coming. At the very top we ran into a young fellow who was traveling the divide from south to north. He is from Prescott, AZ.  He was doing the route solo and therefore was very chatty when he met us.

From the saddle we began our descent down 3 miles of fun single track until we hit the gravel road. At that point the sky begin to darken and the thunder clouds erupted. We got drenched. But, at least it was all downhill to Seeley Lake.
Tomorrow we plan to have breakfast with Sam Schultz which was a nice surprise. Then we will head toward Lincoln, which is about 65 miles.
We're having a great time. Hope you enjoy following along.
