Day 18 June 27, 2016 Ovando, Mt. to Lincoln, Mt. 31.7 miles

If only we could get up and going earlier! I enjoy my morning coffee. I heat water on my cute little backpacking stove and use the Starbucks Via packets. A great way to start the day. But a lady came by and said the sprinklers would start in 8 minutes. Now that is motivation.  We had a good breakfast at The Stray Bullet, and the waitress told us her in-laws live in KC.
More big skies and big hills, and we could see the Rockies in the not too far distance.
The campground in Lincoln was great. It was quiet, and there were nice showers with towels provided!
The only other tent was occupied by a young woman who had stayed next door to us in the motel in Lolo. She was biking with her dog from Astoria, Oregon, to New Orleans. She was pulling the dog,  who I think she said weighs 17 pounds, in a bugger. I can't imagine! She had stayed in the inn at Ovando the night we stayed there, and we passed her on the way to Lincoln. She was moving pretty slowly.
We did set the alarm tonight  because we knew tomorrow was going to be a long day. .

  1. Marsha and Dave. Envy you enjoying Montana. I have this wild idea of your ole neighbors dinner buddies seeing you around St Louis to cheer you on your way.
