Day
one:
We survived the longest day ever. We left Cullowhee at about
11pm Saturday night, drove to Atlanta, attempted to sleep in the
airport atrium, and then boarded our flight at 6:30 am. It was
a sleepless night for most of us. We finally arrived in Wolf
Point, MT at around 7:30 pm and were welcome by the friendly folks at
Rancho Campground (our bikes were here!!!) and a reporter from the
local paper. You'll find photos from the airport, pompey's
pillar (where William Clark stopped and engraved his name in a rock),
dinner in Cirlce, MT w/a dinaosaur, and various settting up camp
photos from Wolf Point. All is well and we're looking forward
to getting some sleep and our first day of biking tomorrow.

Our group quietly posed and quietly moved on, never causing a stir to this fella on the bench. |

At Wolf Point, we assembled our bikes which were shipped in boxes via UPS, made camp and readied ourselves to be under way the next morning. |
