I thought for a while, but I didn’t. It’s as well…

Continue reading →: Day 11 – In MissoulaI’m in a day off here in Missoula. Not a bad day to take as it is smokier than usual. You can actually smell it in the air today. It’s the end of the second stage of the tour, the first being over the passes of the Cascades, and this…
