Reluctantly left my cozy cabin at Glacier Mist RV Park, in Cut Bank and headed south. Note to the wise, don't drive over the Tiber Dam on the east end of Lake Elwell (outside Shelby) because holy hell giant. loose. terrible. gravel.
The weather was really nice though, the sun was out, no clouds, it was beautiful.
Made my way down to Fort Benton and gawked at their pretty buildings, while people gawked at me walking around in bulky motorcycle pants with like 3 cameras in my hands.
Then scooted my way over to the Carter Ferry! Lazarus and I got to ride our first Ferry! I was gleeful and the old man running it just didn't understand how exciting it was.
I ran over my first snake almost immediately after getting off the ferry. Then I made the mistake of listening to the old man's directions about how to get back to the main road so I got turned around on a couple gravel farm roads, but hey I found lots of wheat and more than a few abandoned buildings like this.
I eventually found the main road and ended up in Belt, MT.
I was watching the sun go down, and stopped into the gas station to ask if they knew anywhere near to camp. The lil' old gal behind the counter told me, "oh just go down to the park/baseball field and camp down there, I saw them baseball boys camp there, so I know you can do it."
So, I did as I was told and camped in the Belt City Park. The PoPo didn't bother me or anything! Winning.
If you haven't already heard, I'm stoked to announce that Wolfman Luggage is on board for my Pilgrimage!
I've been geared up with the new Skyline Series and I got to do my first loaded test run on Monaday! (Let me tell ya, after using my cheapy bags with the holes in them for so long, this was like moving into a Condo)Can't wait to get them to Montana and mount them on Lazarus!
I’ll be doing a review of these bags from the road later in my adventure!
