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. They had another guest at their house and they invited a friend to share a delicious pizza that Jenn made with cheese that she made from her goats’ milk. Awesome.

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.

People gave me food, coffee, and even a small hand crafted wooden dinosaur that is now keeping my guard dog company. People went out of their way…
