up north

We are currently in Eureka, Montana and have been thoroughly enjoying this state. Last night we were once again spoiled w/ food, beds/couches, and the warm indoors for the night as we stayed w/ friends of Kaylene's. We were also pleasently surprised to find a friend from rosedale, Eli, living close by this area w/ his wife and were able to see them as well.

This morning we realized that we are only about 1000 miles to our destination, Portland, and that is exiting for us as well. A few days ago we ran into girl from Portland who was going east. She was so thrilled that we were going to be in portland as that is her favorite place ever and she offered us to stay at her house. Speaking for all of us, I would say that it is fun to run into other bikers and talk w/ them for a while. We have met up w/ husband/wife combos, father/son, a group of boys just out of college, and single riders out touring. It has also been surprising to me to see how many people we run into that have done tours or hope to some day.

Another highlight of our trip lately was our trip into glacier national park as we rented a car for the day. it would be great to put up the pictures from that trip, but we cannot due so at this time due to technical difficulties. hopefully they will be coming soon. but we were able to get some off bike excercise in as we did some great hikes and the scenery was beautiful! Anyway, we need to get on our way again, but hopefully we will be able to share more of our latest journey soon.
