Day 17
I was originally planning on riding 50 miles to Fort Benton today. But after pondering daily options for eastern Montana I concluded it would be better to get a little farther today. So I got an early start and had lunch in Fort Benton, then continued another 26 miles to Geraldine, where I checked into a B&B. Wind was an issue again today. It was calm in the morning, but really picked up for my last hour and a half into Fort Benton - and not in my favor! But it was very much in my favor after a 90-degree turn to the southeast towards Geraldine. I narrowly avoided the worst of a torrential downpour, which I could see coming for miles in the big Montana sky. Aiming to reach Lewistown (note: NOT Lewiston) tomorrow.
