We celebrated by riding 82 miles to Columbia Falls. With a very early start, 6:30 am, we avoided a lot of traffic. And thanks to a tailwind and temperatures in the 70s, most of us agreed that it was the easiest, and certainly most beautiful 80 mile rides ever. My only regret is that on a ride this long, you don't take time to smell the flowers, or in this case, enjoy more of the wonderful views we had of Flathead Lake, which I was surprised to learn is the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi.
Some of our group take the Fourth very seriously.
Sunrise in Hot Springs this morning. My friend Hope was the early riser who took this picture.
Looking down on Flathead Lake.
We rode in and out of the Flathead Nation Reservation today.
Gathering for lunch from the camper. We didn't manage to meet up until mile 65, but we carry plenty of snacks.
Our motel uses old wash tubs for planters. The old metal headboards decorating the yard were harder to photograph.
