Day 26 Wolf Point to Culbertson MT

Stats: mileage 58; total climb 640 ft; total mileage 1337

While cycling in eastern Montann
The wind cooled our face like a fan
Though we pedaled with vigor
The bike moved as in rigor
Will we ever escape ol' Montann?

The day started SOP: brilliant-fry you crisp-sunshine, the railroad by our side, FLATNESS and of course a headwind.
We rode about 22 miles to Poplar and found a great place for breakfast. As we arrive, as lady with the authority to say so told us to bring the bike into the bar (since it had everything we owned was on it) and put it by the pool table while we ate. So we did.
The lady at this multi-purpose store donated the fabric I was going to buy so our stop in Poplar would be extra special.
The sun continued to shine, the temperature went up and the road went on. After a lunch stop in Brockton, we left Rte 2 and dropped into the Missouri River valley. No traffic and even better, the scenery changed. For 15 miles we enjoyed a valley flat ride with some very interesting geology.
Finally we got to what was supposed to be our home for the night and they did not have our reservation and they were full (as was everywhere else in town). So the manager made a call to Bob who has a basement apartment which we "rented" for the night. Armed with towels from the motel, we crossed the street and entered Bob and Cookie's basement bonanza. It was perfect for a night-dark and cool. And the bearskin added to the ambiance.
After a delicious taco pizza at the bar/casino down the street, we returned to our lodgings and slept for a record 10 hours.
