I was really looking forward to seeing Missoula but am glad that I decided to stay for a night in Arlee. It was a real treat to meet Jennifer and Micah, two really nice people who live on a farm.

Since I resumed riding, it really feels like a different chapter. I only camped once, and I no longer need to carry a lot of food with me. The best part is that I get to stay with great people more often. Fernie was my last stop in Canada.

My first day of riding in the rain in about 2 months (no complain there!) and my first flat tire. Funny how flats and bad weather…
