JP sounded in good spirits on the phone tonight, maybe a bit tired. He said the weather had been all over the place. Windy, cold, sleet, rain, sunshine. Frost on the tent in the morning, no warmer than 60 degrees in the afternoon.
JP described a killer hill where he said no rider, even the most fit at the beginning of a race, would have been able to ride up it. It was so steep that they had to push the bike forward, then clamp the brakes, take a step, release the brake, push, take a step. Repeat. Makes me tired just thinking about it!
What a happy face after the "daily trek" through some of the world's most beautiful country. It's almost enough to sprinkle a smiling Son's beard with gray. More power to you all as you move on south (downhill???) tomorrow. From up in the Satellite, it looks to me like a mighty challenge. Be safe, and be happy!!!

Was wondering if you would make it to Butte. Looking at the elevation changes on satellite, I could see it was all a climb. So glad to hear there was a Denny's in the end!
