Canada to Tuchuck photos!

I'm hot boxing with waterproofer fumes as I write these captions, so bear with me. It's a little rough.

Hey, look, it's my bike, Saunter Snaphopper, and I at the border. I don't have my passport, so that was the closest I felt like getting.

The border from father away. Those far hills are in Canada!

1st Wildlife = horned sheep

This sign said "Iowa Flats." Wrong on both counts, Montana.

I thought this inviting bike path was my route into Eureka, but it actually was a 4 miles wrong turn. Good game, Montana.

Eureka!

A local roady who chatted with me.

I take photos of all the roadside signs, because I like them.

Thanks, how did you know my name was Jendro?

Climbing towards no pavement.

An avalanch scar. There are lots of these. I read that Grizzly bears used them as cooridors.

Finally, my first dirt of the trip!

Folks I met riding from the border to Helena. They did 70 mile that day (I did 50), so I doubt I'll see them again.

Snow!

Camp for the night!

This was taken during the only 45 minutes that it didn't rain.

Someone left dry firewood in the bear box!

Where I spent much of my night, the only dry place.

Inteeresting route, Great Divide Trail...

My first "oops" moment.

This appears out of order, but it is how I spent most of the night. Bugs!

Another photo of the first dirt on the US section of the Divide!
