Hey everyone out there in internet land, we made it to Butte, Montana last night after our longest ride yet (51 miles!). We met up with a cyclist two nights ago that is heading to Banff going South to North along the same trek. He told us that the ride we did yesterday was by far the most technical section he had come across yet. That made us feel relieved as we didn't get too beat up and the bikes are still in one piece. It was definetley the hardest morning yet with lots of hikabiking around boulders and scree that littered extreme up and downhills. We also crossed the Divide again yesterday (Thats 4 in the US and 1 in Canada so far) before our cruise into Butte.
And speaking of, I am not sure when we will be able to post again. The next library seems to be in Rawlins, Wyoming which is about 200 miles from where we are now. We made the decision not to go to Jackson Hole, Wyoming so please do not send anything there. Instead we are going to travel into the Tetons and Yellowstone a little more and save a little more money.
We really appreciate all the comments from everyone and please continue to do so! Its awesome to feel the love from all the way back East. Hope everyone is doing well and we will look forward to posting again once we cross the Great Basin!

Thom and Karen Alden wish you the best! So glad you are together again, many positive thoughts and prayers coming your way to ensure a terrific adventure! Your pictures and narratives are so enjoyable ... know that you're being thought of! Last two days in NH were like perfect Fall weather vs. Summer. How strange!? Happy Trails to you and stay well! ;)
Hey Keith, Doug, Nat and Jen,
A big "howdy" from Rebecca at EMS. I've been checking on your progess. I liked the update on the saloon in Montana. Glad to hear Jen is back on the bike. You go girl!
If you go thru Driggs ID, you'll be in one of my favorite places--it's a great little ski town. Check out the Royal Wolf for dinner--yum.
How scary to be running out of Snickers!
Be well, best wishes to each of you,
Rebecca
