Day 16 – Bull River Campground, MT to Libby, MT

 Miles 54.7

Total Miles 748.3

 

I am having a hard time writing new stuff and experiences.  It really is much the same day to day.  We did get up early today, 6:00.  That is early by my recent standards.  Connection to the internet wasn’t too good for Brandon to work so we got up early to get him on the road to Libby so that he could be there by 8:30 when he had meetings to attend on Zoom. Because of getting on the road by 7, it was quite a cool morning.  One thing that was great to see was the morning mist coming off the Bull River in the cold morning.

 

Also by getting an early start, we arrived at our destination at 12:30. I went to eat at a great burger joint and had a mushroom Swiss burger and then went with Tim to get a drink and spent a few hours talking trips, both past and in the future.  It had been a pretty lazy afternoon.

 

Libby seems like a pretty neat little town. I guess this area was a vermiculite mining area which contained asbestos and this area was polluted pretty badly by it. We’ve enjoyed our small stay here, however.

 

We wanted to ride a little further today, but there is no where to stay down the road, so we have a big day tomorrow. We will need to do 70 miles and are going to get another early start at it, so better get ready for bed.  Good night 😴

I took this picture to show you what I see most of the day.
