Day 71: Twin Bridges, Montana

It was a beautiful ride from West Yellowstone to West Fork Campground. The lady there was really sweet - she gave us free hot dogs for dinner and cinnamon rolls in the morning. The rolls were as big as our faces. The next morning we rode to Virginia City. Mostly downhill, with a big climb for the finish. We saw some lakes formed by earthquakes which were very cool - you could still see the dead trees sticking up out of the water.

Last night we ate at Bob's in Virginia City and had the two girls working there create us a giant meatball sub. They had 3 foot sub rolls and we convinced them to fill them with meatballs and cheese. It was glorious.

Virginia City is somehow frozen in time. All the buildings are from the mid 1800s and very well preserved. They had lots of antique stores, a bakery, and a knick-knack place. The perfect place for four dudes to spend several hours. Needless to say, we went back to the campsite early and made fire. That was much better.

Today is September 1 - the big countdown! We have less than 20 days of riding left! We're taking a little alternate path through Montana to save some time, but we're still looking at riding for the coast on Sunday, September 19, barring any incidents. Exciting!

We still have one day off to take between here and the end, so you can put your suggestions in the blog comments. Keep it clean.

We're starting to sing a lot during the day, and the weirdest songs get stuck in our heads. It's a sign we've been on the road too long.
