Day 19: July 2: Wolf Point, MT to Glasgow, MT: 56 miles

They had a HOT but good day today. Roger said it hit the low 90's, but they also had a "kind of" tailwind today. They were all very happy not to be facing into the wind for yet another day. He also said the traffic was lighter and they had better shoulders to ride on today.

We talked about Glacier National Park, a stop they hope to make and spend about 2-3 days at. About a week ago they met a biker who came through there. He said it wasn't open yet because they still had about 3 feet of snow. I guess the park averages about 30 feet of snow a year. So 3 feet left isn't too bad by July!?!?!! The hope is by the time they make it there in about 2 1/2 to 3 weeks the snow will be gone. These 90 degree days should really help with that issue.

Other than that they said they decided to camp tonight after checking out the only hotel that seemed to only have a jacuzzi suite left with 1 bed and for too much money. Besides, someone said a kid just got sick in the pool so that would be out of commission for the night. As they stood outside a couple of ladies told them of a great campground 3 blocks away that catered to bikers. They meet some of the nicest people on these trips. The campground is awesome they said. Thank you to all the campgrounds and city parks who treat bikers so well!!!

One last thought: I want to thank Laura for blogging last night. I know Chris still has to download the pictures but it was great to have anothers take on the day. Laura, you did an awesome blog. Thanks.
