Yesterday I was packed and ready to leave and while finishing my cup of coffee I noticed the hitch on the car was hanging low. The hitch is mounted on the frame that supports the bumper and this frame is broken. The day was spent finding someone to replace the hitch with one that attaches to the main frame and welding the broken bumper frame section. This will be done tomorrow so Nancy and I felt comfortable with me leaving today.
I started riding in the morning coolness following the Koocanusa Lake to Rexford. The last ten miles brought me closer to the Rocky Mountains in the near distance.
Today I stopped at a convenient place for the night in Eureka, MT. with a 44 mile day.
