We got a great 8:15 a.m. start from Ovando. A 25-mile road ride found us in Lincon, MT -- and the start of an eight mile uphill to the Continental Divide. Two miles into the uphill, a guy on an ATV hauling a cooler gave us cold beers. I offered a lifetime of daily prayer in return. Laughter. Angels in high places. We had another terrific 8-mile downhill to a free mountain valley hostel -- Barbara Nyes cabin. The place is fantastic! A cabin supplied to the max for Great Divide bikers. Wine -- white and red -- for consumption. And the owners stopped by with cold beer and conversation. All free. Unbelievable. Anna and I stayed with Rob, another teacher from Texas who is north bound. The place was complete with friendly Llamas. The beauty and experience of today's route was sublime.
