Day 24, Wolf Point, MT - 54 miles

I am getting really good at changing flats and, lucky for me, none have been mine.  Ellen got her forth flat tire of the trip and this time there were no mosquitoes in the area to torment us.

The beginning of the day saw wicked headwinds for the first 20 miles or so.  Ellen pulled for the first 18.5 and Debbie for the next 1.5 miles. Me? I was saving my strength to fix any flat tires that came up.  After about mile 20, we finally got off US-2 and on to a lightly traveled road through the Fort Peck Indian Reservation for about 20 more miles.  We were surrounded on both sides by fields of wheat and hay and not much else.

The day was not too long but it sure was hot so getting into the hotel felt good.  Too bad there was no water for about three hours after we arrived and the only place to pee was the McDonalds about a half a mile down the road.  But, like someone said, if nothing like this happened, there would be nothing to write home about.
