The last few days

We've been out of touch for a while, here are some highlights since Helena.

-Riding into Butte, 2 days after Helena, to see the Berkley pit, a giant acid pool left from years of mining. They actually charged admission to see it, haha. Mentioned in the press recently for killing a bunch of migrating birds

-Stopping at a ghosttown "Bannack" to learn the ways of mining towns 100 years ago

-a 30 mile gradual downhill down the canyon to Lima, spectacular scenery

-experiencing the american health care system as they tended to Jason's crash. Wait time: 0 minutes! (it was rural though) The nurse even drove us to our motel after

Jason's parents come today to take him home. He will be walking comfortably in a week, but biking will take longer. I will ride today to Lima, where we rode to yesterday, and continue the trip solo. It will be a different experience

See you in Wyoming!
