Denise, Bob Goodwin's mom, made us a scrumptious breakfast of scrambled eggs and bacon over greens this morning. We powered out of Helena. Not sure why one would leave. The cut is "Oz like" in beauty. Captivating. In a 6-mile downhiller, we passed through some of the most beautiful country I've seen in North America. Magic! Ate lunch in Clancy, MT. Thirty hard surface road miles later we set up our tents at the Merry Widow Mine Campground just outside Basin, MT. Imagine the twilight zone... An obsolete mining town morphing into a healing spa in which people from around the world are cured of any malady upon bathing in, or drinking, the mine's year ice waters -- or simply sitting in the mine. We filled our bottles. Must work -- Anna got carded at the town bar and I was able to ride my bicycle home after an evening at the pub. Life is restorative on the Great Divide Bicycle trail. Pedal on!!
