Had a nice breakfast at the Chicken Coop in Seely Lake where we spent a restful night at the Motor Lodge. We we're slow starting because of rain. Headed out around 11:00 a.m. for the little town of Ovando, MT, 28 miles away. We called ahead and reserved the "Hoosegow" because of forecasted rain. The first 10 miles was a climb, then a nice downhill. We met a man and woman from Switzerland riding dirt bikes (650cc Suzukis) across Canada and the U.S. They were 3 months out. The downhill was in 50 degree weather and rain. Cold in a t-shirt! Had to cut the conversation with the Swiss short due to hypothermia. The last mile into Ovando was sunny. Beautiful, open cow country. Even saw a bluebird. Ovando has a terrific bar, and the jail (where we stayed) has nice rope bunks and solid iron locks on the door. Eclectic -- perfect to warm you and dry out.
