Hot Days

It's been pretty dang hot these last several days. I've been struggling with eating and drinking enough water. I don't have much of an appetite and drinking water that is roughly the temperature of bath water is tough. I was really pooped yesterday so I cut the day short and camped by a pretty lake. I drank lots of water, read, and napped. Today, I was good to go and rode an easy 65 miles on a really pretty road.


I even had a brisk tailwind that increased my average speed by a good 4 mph. The flag was flapping exactly the direction I was going!


There was some road construction today with some really torn up road for a few miles. It brought back fond memories of the Top of the World Highway near Chicken in the Yukon.


I met some local Native Americans who told me that there was a pow wow going on this weekend at the end of Flathead Lake and that I should go see it. I spent several hours there today. First, I ate some Navajo frybread, which is the same thing as lángos in Hungarian cooking.


Then, I went to the arena where they had the dance competitions. There was a drum circle.


And, there were dancers. My favorite was the men's fancy dance.


Today, I head into Glacier National Park on a, hopefully, cooler day.
