Day Fifty-Eight: Logging Over to Libby

We left Kalispell this morning bound for Libby, MT.
Libby is our last stop in Montana before Idaho.

We were pleasantly surprised when we discovered that Northwest MT had a lot of bike trails, so we took bike trails most of the way to Libby.





It was a fairly easy day, and we got to ride in a large group for some of the way (which is always a blast). It's generally unsafe to do this on the road but there's no harm in bunching up on bike trails.






Megan and I had to stop for some soda--we went for the 44 oz when we discovered that it was only $1!

We arrived at our host, Libby High School, home of the Libby Loggers. We are spending tonight in the upper level of the school gym, but not til after a wonderful dinner at the local church. We were graciously welcomed, fed until we were full, and then slowly made our way back to the school (and bed) with heavy stomachs.



Reflecting back on Montana, I have come the conclusion that these are the most beautiful 11 days of the trip. Montana is truly a gorgeous state with an abundance of lakes, mountains, and breathtaking views.

How is Idaho going to top this?

Today was dedicated to the men of the Kalispell firehouse, who generously opened their (immaculate) living/work space. Thank you for all that you do and for making our trip possible!
