(^68) Montana (2)
Gardiner – Big Timber - 152 km
The weather forecast turned out to be spot-on, and the wind grew
stronger as the day progressed. With a near-gale-force wind in my
back, cycling was like low flying, reaching almost 60 km/h - scary
stuff. From Gardiner, my path headed north towards Livingston from
where it veered east.
Amazingly, once in Livingston, the direction of the wind changed, and
it remained a tailwind. Arriving in Big Timber was thus in good time,
and the lack of camping made me opt for a motel.
I decided to stay, follow the wind, and go wherever it blew me. I also
sent an additional email to the Canadian visa office, inquiring exactly
how long the visa would take and how one would receive it. In the
meantime, the plan was to head further east while staying close to
the border in case the visa came through.
