7/17: For our first century we made amazing time all day thanks to strong
tailwinds and a steady downhill. We stopped in Big Timber for first lunch at a
great gas station with brilliantly colored tie-dye wolf shirts and huckleberry
jam and honey. After fixing a couple flats we continued on and made it to
Columbus for second lunch, a solid 40 miles down the road. There Katie
discovered an empty trucker lounge where we ate pb&j and caught up on
presidential news (apparently Donald Trump is leading the Republican
primaries!). We pressed on and made it to Laurel by 6:30 and scouted out a
campsite by the river. We headed back into Laurel for dinner and the Owl
Junction diner kindly kept its doors open late for us to have a tasty meal and
milkshakes. After heading back to the campsite we had completed 110 miles for
the day!
