We were up around 6:00, farmers hours, and after a breakfast of biscuits and gravy I bid goodbye to Polly and Dayton drove me about 25 miles to Chester which is up on highway 2. I set off from there at 9:15 thus creating a gap in my journey from West Glacier to Chester.I had been resting for 6 days and felt pretty strong. There was a nice wind out of the southwest which was a help. It is now Wednesday evening and I am having trouble remembering yesterday's ride. Oh yes, it was flat and straight. Maybe that's why I don't remember much. I did find the pillow department and not far from that another mattress department, this one had only one item, no box spring, but it was a pillow top queen. We just paid about a grand for one just like it a year or two ago. OK that's enough on that topic, right?
I got to Havre, the only sizable town here on the high line, as highway 2 is known, at about 5:00. Since the next day's ride was looking like 90 miles I decided to do 20 more that day. I had a little bit to eat and then set out. I rolled into Chinook by 8:30, still in the day light, but a huge black cloud had been following me and I heard today there was hail in Chester. Hail destroys fields of wheat.
Motel, shower, bed.
