Day Fifty: Watching the Skies in Wisdom

Wisdom, MT is such a strange place. There's only a few blocks to this town nestled between the mountains, featuring one saloon, a restaurant, a gas station, and no cellphone reception. In fact, there is no reception anywhere nearby besides a designated "cellphone pull-off" off of 43-West a few miles away. Ironically enough, both the saloon and the restaurant have wifi. Oh yeah, there's one more building, the community center, which is where we'll be staying tonight.








As it turns out we're now on an Adventure Cycling route, so we've run into some pretty cool cyclists along our way. Some of the people we've met on the road today are camping here in Wisdom tonight. They've been chill, helpful, and fun to ride beside.









Tonight, after making a pasta dinner, we laid out in a roofless structure across the street to watch the night sky. It was nice to just lay out under the stars and gaze, letting the mind wander from light to light, tracing the deep purple sky.






By 12 am I was content and decided to move back inside before I got too cold. I'm tired from today's long ride and will certainly sleep well.

'Til Tomorrow,
James

Today was dedicated to the staff and volunteers from the hospital auction that we met yesterday. They generously fed us and allowed us to speak about our mission. Meeting a cancer survivor there was especially heartwarming.
