A guy starts chatting about our trip etc. Nice guy, apparently normal. Asks how things have been on the road, trucks etc. We say oh not too bad, but sometimes the young bucks in pick up trucks can drive a bit recklessly. " yes " he says, "we all have that problem". And then "that's why I carry a gun with hollow tip bullets" gulp, "that way there ain't gonna be any doubt". My response "oh......nice, check please".
For the uninitiated those type of bullets are designed to cause the most damage. Strange place, with even stranger ideas about some things.
Our ride involved yet another climb, total ascent today 2634ft, but was followed by a reward in the shape of a great down hill. 8 miles without a turn of the pedals, followed by a very pleasant paddle in a river. Our ride had started in extreme cold, surprising considering how hot it is in the day( mid 90's). The area we were starting our ride was called a frost hole. A plateau about 6500 ft up surrounded by mountains. We are much lower tonight about 4000 ft, the lowest we have been since we arrived in Colorado.
75 miles today, to a town called Darby, tomorrow we head to Missoula. This will be our last stop in Montana, before moving into Idaho.
Photos, me and a teepee, not quite sure why.
Our elevenses stop and also look who I finally came across and not in Yellowstone.
The thing is, those sort of attitudes to firearms ARE considered quite normal in many parts of the USA, away from the East and West coasts...

I am Mariam used every single spell worker on the internet, spent untold amounts of money and discovered they are all fakes...i was the fool though; doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. In the end, I decided that I wanted a tarot reading to know what my future held for me; I contacted a woman who lives locally to me and she told me about a man named (Priests Abija); he does not advertise on the internet, has another job for income, has no set prices, makes no false promises and refuses to help anyone that cannot be helped and even helps for free sometimes, he will give you proof before taking money. He is a wonderful man and he was the only person who actually gave me real results. I really hope he doesn't mind me advertising his contact on the internet but I'm sure any help/ extra work will benefit him.contact him here as +447053820826 or spirituallighthealing101@live.com He travel sometimes.i cant give out his number cos he told me he don’t want to be disturbed by many people across the world..he said his email is okay and he’ will replied to any emails asap,love marriage,finance, job promotion ,lottery Voodoo,poker voodoo,golf Voodoo,Law & Court case Spells,money voodoo,weigh loss voodoo,any sicknesses voodoo,Trouble in marriage,HIV AIDS,it's all he does Hope this helps everyone that is in a desperate situation as I once was; I know how it feels to hold onto something and never have a chance to move on because of the false promises and then to feel trapped in wanting something

Hi Sally, the National Riffle Association, NRA, is proud of everyone who carries a gun here in the USA. Stay out of trouble! Anyway, I hope the weather will stay cool for you while cycling. Here the weather has been hot like in HELL, well I am not there yet??? But it was like putting the head into the oven for several days, now it is nice and cool for cycling. My first puncture (flat tire am.E.) today on the way to work.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your cycling and say hello to boys. Kielo
