Just a quick update from Montana, certainly the BIGGEST state in the nation~. We're in Malta taking time to shop, do washing, sleep in and cycling only 25 miles this afternoon to Saco. We did two very long days (87 and 67 miles each) under windy conditions (both head and tail winds) so we decided we needed a rest. Also there is virturally nothing between towns in which we stop to overnight. It's a lot of rolling hills for hundreds of miles.
We're still cycling along the railway and the Milk River. These small towns are wonderful. The people are curious about our journey and very helpful and friendly. We have seen about half a dozen other cyclists in the last 24 hours in Malta. Everyone has a common complaint: sore butt!
That's another good reason to take a short day. The librarian is closing in 3 minutes for lunch to bye to all. We've pedaled 1,067 miles as of today (day 26).
