Day 18 Another day of BIG headwind! Glasgow, Montana to Wolf Point, Montana.

I must not have paid my taxes since the wind has been blowing in my face ALL DAY!  Strong wind too.  We made 56.2 hard won miles and gained 772 feet to Wolf Point, Montana.  I thought I paid my dues yesterday!?
Well, we started out the day with a smiling old car - to a car buff this is a "Happy Face".
As for signs, here is another interesting one.  The bridges out here are interesting, but "Skewed"!?  I will pay more attention!
Next, Paul P seems to attract extraterrestrial farm vehicles.  Very interesting machines indeed.  Paul P. wanted to see if he could  bike under one, but I told him with the vehicle going 60 MPH if his calculations are wrong he could be in real trouble indeed!





Another interesting thing we saw was the mating of full-size televisions!  Very rare these days what with the evolution of flat-screen TV's.  I don't know what the mating ritual is, but there were lots of ads for hot-pots and hair tonics.


The harvest of grain has become quite an industrial process and the machines are huge!  As you enjoy your morning toast, think that here is where it starts!




Tomorrow we head south, and again I hope not into a headwind.  The traffic on highway 2 has been growing, both in numbers of vehicles, the speed, and the narrowness of the roads.  I can certainly understand why they send us south.

  1. Is that antenna of some sort on Paul p"s helmet or is he collecting feathers?

  2. No, the feather is just one we found in Washington, and I use it for better visibility from the "Megaloads"! So far, seems to work!!
