Day two, no problems, and no wind.

We stopped at this overlook just west of Helena Montana this morning. It was a very good view, one of those that the pictures never do justice to.

Here were the bikes at the overlook. It was over 6000 feet in elevation, and was well worth the stop. The morning was a little cool, and there was no wind today. It was a very welcome change from yesterday!

Also not wanting to have a repeat of yesterdays gas crisis, we stopped early for gas. What we found was a quaint little town named Ovando, Montana. We have passed by this town several times and didn't know what was here. I told Melanie I would love to eat at the little cafe, but we had just eaten a while ago.

This was the gas stop that we made, 15 miles before our planned gas stop. It was worth it not to have one of us not check her gas gauge often enough! In the spirit of full disclosure, the 500 Vulcans don't have gas gauges, but it is sure fun giving her a bad time for running out. The gas was only $4.75 a gallon, so we put in enough to know we could get up the road farther than we needed to.

We ended up in Kalispell Montana, and stayed with Melanies sisters family, and we always have a good time with them. Today was a very easy day, 230 miles, and some of the most spectacular scenery the United States has to offer.
