Harlem, MT

Another beautiful sunrise
Awoke at 4:00 AM and was on the road by 4:45 AM.  Bicycled another 75 miles through the Ft. Belknap Indian Reservation.  Passed through  Malta, Dodson, Ft. Belknap Agency, before arriving in Harlem, Montana.  Ran into virtually no one...shared my space with a few head of cattle and an unlimited number of mosquitoes. 
My only company today

  Harlem offered a real treat...free camping at the city park, showers for $1.00 and use of the pool for $1.00!  What a treat...I feel like a new man.
While bicycling I had glimpses of the Big Snowy Mountains and the Big Belt mountains...I'm getting closer to "God's Country."



Robe Walker and Monte Cherry




 Robe is the artist who did the sculpture "Batesdane" that resides at Montana Northern University.  Literally translated it means "Iron Man."
