One thing I forgot to mention in the last post was some funny stuff from the short ride on highway 17 in Montana. It takes you from highway 89 to the Chief Mountain border crossing. It's free range country, which means cows can be on the road at any time, and they were. It's a little un-nerving not knowing what the cows will do, and Leona and I had some good laughs as we dodged cows and cow pies on the road. It felt so strange, certainly not something we were used to.
In Olds, after getting gas, we stopped at the grounds of Olds College to lay down in the grass and rest. It was nice to feel the sun and be able to close our eyes for a while. The last leg of the day's ride was up the Deuce to Edmonton. There was a lot of traffic, but it moved smoothly until we got onto the Henday. The last few kilometres were bumper to bumper.
It was awesome to get to Peter & Lenora's, where we got to unwind and enjoy dinner with them. We all went out for ice cream yet, and got a chance to catch up. It's nice to be able to spend time with friends on the road, always feels more like home.
It was close to midnight when we finally shut down for the day, drifting off to sleep quickly.
