July 18th, 2009 Wolfpoint, MT to Culbertson, MT

The Big Sky Motel served us well. We did have to chase the proprietor's kids out of our room however. It was quiet and relaxing at the motel, the big event was the judging of the road treasures contest. Lately we have taken to an Oz Bike Club activity where you pickup items along the road and compete with your fellow bikers with a story in the evening about your find. I think this was the night I won with a pair of women's leopard skin print panties. The winner receives and gets to carry the coveted Flaming Mountain award for the day. I held the prize for several days with "Michael Jackson's glove", the panties, Blood Sweat and Tears, possibly something else can't recall. We leave Wolfpoint after a MacDonald's breakfast on a mission to get to Culbertson which will take us close to the Montana State Line, we are all ready for a new state. The ride to Culbertson was another mostly headwind day, we had some warm temps too, high 80's could have hit 90. We all cooled off in the local swimming pool, visited the market bought steaks and chicken. Braden did a great grilling job at our campsite in the city park so the day turned out nice. While at the camp we were joined by a biking couple who have been on the road for 12 years-William and Alexandra. The couple sing and play for schools, churches, assisted living facilities, etc to fund their on going adventure. The couple has ridden across Europe and the US. I dubbed them the Wandering Musical Missionary Minstrels. They played a few songs that evening including a Chech folks song but their efforts were hindered by mosquitoes and we all headed for our tents to avoid them. Tomorrow the ND line.
