Day 16 (6/14/07), Lolo, MT to Sula, MT ~79 miles

It was a beautiful day, but most days are when you're biking across new and interesting country. In Darby, MT a truck was pulling along us like he was going to pass, but instead he slowed down and the passenger door opened and the passenger started throwing up. Luckily, i was just far enough away not to get any on me, but it creeped me out and it was gross! The rest of the ride we saw the Bitteroot Mountains which were snowed capped peaks and less gross and disturbing images. Right before Sula, MT we saw a whole herd of what looked like mountain goats, or some sort of sheep, but I'll let Katherine D. figure it out for me, she's the one who raises goats. There were like 20 of them and they let us get pretty close (not really by choice, but they were practically standing in the road and we needed the road to get by). We did an extra 6.5 miles past Sula to start out tomorrow's climb early because that is our first crossing of the Continental Divide.
