june 17 into the big hole
Left 5 boomer bikers taking a leisurely breakfast to climb the nine miles to chief jo pass out of the bitteroot. 37 degrees at the 7200 ft summit snowed for 20 miles up to and after cresting. Stats: 3500 ft total elevation change, 60 mi ride sula to jackson hot springs MT, total500 mi so far in 8 days. Visited big hole battlefield tragic between cavalry and nez perce in 1877. Haunting to me like gettysburg. Wind river overflowing its.banks, washing over the bridge leading into wisdom MT. Staying tonight at the same hot spring capt clark enjoyed in 1806 oh! It was lovely soaking after a chilling day! Saw several majestic raptor birds today awesome.
