hi RCKS - off topic mountain biked another section of the CDR route in Montana today in the cool morning... was 37 degrees upon waking big bushy badger running along side me at about 9:3O A.M. great colors on his fur ... 4th badger this season in proximity ... 10 times more ferocious than a bear and fast and the literature says they are nocturnal found a spring in the middle of now where Montana that has been capped and piped at ground level for filling water bottles the bugs are all frozen on these cold nights, even the horse flies are absent nothing but silence for hours and hours in this part of Montana large Sand Hill cranes walking around looking for ground insects to eat expansive to be in complete quiet for hours, and 4 mountain ranges in view, some with snow patches
