Today we made it to Missoula, Montana. Day 5, close to 600mls (nearly 1000kms), 3rd state and 2nd timezone (and 3 litres of chamois cream). The ride has been fantastic...well organised and planned to the last organic raisin. The route follows major roads with lots of detours through country areas and back roads. We can clock up some good miles on the major routes and then take it a bit more slowly on the more scenic paths. We've been averaging around 16mph (about 26kph).
So far we have seen osprey, bald eagles, crayfish, squirrels, deer, red tailed hawks, geese and ducks, not to mention some pretty impressive scenery! Check out the photos on www.pactour.com...follow the links to northern transcontinental and then to Susan's tour pictures. This connection won't let us upload photos but Susan has put some of ours up on her site (see day 3 photos). Will try to keep the blog updated as often as possible but can't always access the technology.
Finally, congratulations to the Gaudry family on the birth of Jack. (Rob wore his Tux for the occasion and we had a glass of Alaskan Amber last night to celebrate! We also passed by Tracey Road, yesterday).
