Libby, MT

Lake, bridge, and smoky skies

Lake Koocanusa

 I woke to gusting winds this morning and knew right away it was going to be a long, hard slog if I were to reach Libby, Montana today. Sharp inclines, steep drops, strong headwinds, these were my companions on today's ride.  Leaving Rexford without breakfast and no towns until reaching Libby, Montana, I had to rely on freeze dried meals and trail mix. Bicycling along Lake Koocanusa offered stunning scenery and smoke-filled skies.  Fires in Washington state have filled the area with smoke.
From Libby, it's on to Clark Fork and ultimately Sandpoint, Idaho.  I hope to get an early start tomorrow.
