Day 8
There will be more later, but we wanted to let Dana know – The Sinkyone Wilderness.
Its late and we’re in Choteau, Mt. After dinner we road outside of town to a bluff and watched the sun go down over the mountains till dark.
Willy Nelson is playing here tomorrow night, and apparently this is the home town of David Letterman.
Ok we’re back. Had software difficulties with the Olympus software and my macintosh. We are now uploading from Steve’s PC.So – as we left Bozeman we came across a road side stop commemorating Diamond City and the crash of a National Guard A-26:While we were there we met Dana,
who was bicycleing from Moab Az, to Glacier. Yikes o mighty. That trip would make me tired on the motorcyle, and on a bicycle I don’t think I would survive. Anyway we were talking about nice places to go and I was trying to remember a place – Sinkyone. (dana hope you find it).
Most of the day was spent getting to the mountains , we could always see them in the distance off to the left but never really got into them – alot of w i d e open spaces.
We didn’t stop much for pics since the scenery was not as spectacular as we had become accustomed to. Not to say it was boring – just not photo stop kinda stuff.
We got to Choteau, got a room and had dinner and then went back about 6 or 7 miles out of town on an overlook towards the mountains and sat there for a couple hours watching the sun set and the critters come out. We took a 58 minute video of the sunset, but not sure if it will carry over to the site since it is a big file (1.3 Gig). But we shot some pics as well so here they are:
All in all it was a nice relaxing day. Got a late start and an early finish, and, had a great sunset, couldn’t ask for much more.
Hope you all have a great 4th, don’t get too hung over, and remember what it is we’re celebrating (and it ain’t the invention of fireworks).
Teddy – hope Matt isn’t needing bailling out. If you know Joepa’s email address would you forward this site address to him cause I can’t remember it, and I told him I would get it to him. The long days in the sun and wind seems to be frying what little brains are still there.
Kate say hi to all in WVa. Wish I was there with you – or you were here with me.

Hi Bernie and Steve!
Great travel journal and great photos! I am enjoying keeping up with your journey! It was great to have met you both. And thanks for telling me about Sinkyone. I’ll definitely search it out!
How about this heat? I’t’s been hard biking in it! When I pedaled into Kalispell today it was 107 degrees. A record I heard. I left the desert to get out of triple digit temps and what do I get all the way up here? Triple digits! Well, that’s how it goes sometimes.
Hope all is well.
Dana
