Day Twelve.

Short day. From the Llama Ranch to Helena, MT. 41.6 miles. Max speed: 42.4 mph.

We had a slow morning, enjoying the comfort of our little cabin and knowing we were going to overnight in Helena (Montana’s capital city) only 40 miles away. Max had a great time talking more with Flourian about his amazing journey so far.

Cows!

There was a festival in downtown Helena with a salsa band. Then we went to a camping store for some supplies. While there a guy named Montana Smith, real name, heard us talking and invited us to sleep the night on his floor. We said yes!

Montana is an ICU nurse and a former adventurer guide. He said at the height of his guiding career he would spend up to 300 nights a year sleeping in tents. He has a three legged cat named Corona.
