We hated to leave the Rundle Inn and Suites, our home for the last two nights, Nice beds, AC and great hospitality. But we started again VERY early today because of the predicted headwinds and heat, Supposed to be over 100 degrees again today.!!!!

More Glasgowonian humor on the way out of town. Rumor has it the pilot was making an approach to the airport, saw this dinosaur and lost control of the plane!!!

First ‘Smoker Friendly’ sign I have seen. Not sure what that means?????

We had 60 miles to go today to reach our home for the night Wolf Point. Along the way there were several towns to stop and replenish water and the goodie bag. I stopped into Frazer, an Indian village on the Ft Peck Reservation. They had a C-Store that was fully stocked with COLD!!! Also, they liked their old water tower so much they left it up when the new one was installed!

It was a ‘heads down’ kind of day to get to Wolf Point before the temps became unbearable.

Allison, Wade and I were the first to roll into Wolf Point and of course stopped at the first C-Store. They are usually a Cenex or Conoco . . .

. . . soon the rest of the gang began to roll in for shade, cool and drinks . . .

. . . which way to the coolers???

. . . as usual we ‘take over a place’ for 20-30 minutes and then . . .

. . . when everything is empty, we are on the road again!!! it is REALLY hard to drink too much on days like this. You sweat it out as fast as you drink it down!!!

This C-store is on the reservation and must have had some problemswith these folks who are no longer allowed in the store. Some interesting names . . .

. . . and don’t even think of wearing a ‘hoodie’ into the store. Several of our riders were lobbied pretty heavy for ‘spare change’ as they walked around town.

We still had six miles to go until we reached, Steamboat Dry Goods, our home for the night.

. . . as I rolled into the driveway, my Garmin read over 108 degrees. Of course some of this temp is from the  heated asphalt, but when you are biking . . . that’s what you experience!!!

Caroline made us feel right at home and was ready to serve iced coffees, lemonade or whatever you needed to help you cool down. Mike N, had a nice iced coffee . . .

. . . soon tents started popping up in their back forty like mushrooms. We have the use of their bathroom, shower and full kitchen, Allison and Wade are cooking tonight and Caroline is giving them a ride into town to shop for groceries . . . Nice!!!

We also have access to the dry good store to get out of the heat,  Quite an oasis in rural Wolf Point!!!!

She has some really nice merchandise!!!

The store has a big deck across the front, and if you stay in the shade the temp is sort of bearable. Allison spends about half her time riding and the other half on the phone handling our  logistics. She is doing a great job!!!
