Good thing we had a cabin to stay dry in McGrath because it rained most of the night. In the morning when we started the rained had stopped. Still cold but we knew to layer more clothes. Things went good until the last 20 miles or so when it started to rain again. When we got to camp they had a picnic shelter that we set 4 tents in to stay dry. They did have hot showers so all was well. Most of the guys are sleeping on the floor of the RV to stay dry and warm. Bike time was over 7 hours. And we averaged around 9.8 mph.
Everywhere you look there are wheat fields. The roads have been good with nice shoulders and not much traffic. What is surprising and different on this trip is that there are no towns to pass through and no place to stop and get warm. Barns are few and far between and there are no trees to hunker under when it rains. That has been really hard on everyone. We have to carry enough food and water to last the day.
So far the big excitement on the trip is that Jane forgot her passport and didn't realize it until we got to the border. Luckly they let her into Canada. She said afterwards that she envisioned having to bike back to Cut Bank and train it home. Now she is working on getting it sent UPS to a future destination.
