Day twenty four.

The day my bike was held hostage at a bike shop. Tanluhu was not happy.

When I broke a spoke in Butte, the friendly mechanic fixed it in an hour and charged me $10. A deal to be sure.

While my mechanic in Pinedale was very friendly, we were forced to spend the night in town and the bike wasn’t ready until nearly four in the afternoon! And I paid $120!

We finally got on our way out of town.We are always on pavement before and after a town. A necessary evil.

But soon enough we were back on gravel and we were able to cover 54 miles before we were forced to set up camp at sunset.

This was the sunset in the west.

And this is actually the moon rise in the east! Honestly. The iPhone camera makes it brighter than it was, but it was amazing!
