A three hour tour!

We picked up my new bike yesterday, shipped from Hart's in Pennington. It's a hybrid mountain bike and it's real pretty. Prior to going to bed last night, Elizabeth asked if we wanted to go for a bike ride in the morning (remember I mentioned she was a Ironman Triathlete!)? Daiv and I got up at 6:20 and rode for a 1:50:00, a mere 21 miles (uphill, both ways!). We felt exhilarated all day.
We once again headed to the lake, it was a gorgeous sunny day, not a cloud in the sky! We took a speed boat out to Wild Horse Island, an island used by the Indians to defend their horses from thieving Blackfoot Indian tribes. We hiked 2 miles across the island to see the wildlife. As we headed back to the boat, we heard thunder in the distance. The weather started getting rough, our tiny ship was tossed, if not for the courage of our fearless Chip, we would have been lost! We are now sipping wine, fireside. Another great adventure!

  1. Wow- Good job MaryAnn and Professor! Sounds like an adventure out on the lake today! Claire was texting with Lexi today about the lake- we were trying to find it on a Montana map. By the way- your trip sounds so awesome that Carl and I altered our plans for next summer to go to Yellowstone, Badlands, Tetons, Glacier...! Sounds like too great a trip to pass up-thanks!

  2. The pictures from Glacier aren't showing up. I can see everything else. Can you double check that post? I'm really curious about those.

    Haly $%#@ for that grizzly.
