We did some major resting and recuperating in Polson. After purchasing my ukulele in Moscow and riding in the rain I discovered I needed to find a new setup for my gear. I had my aunt ship home a few books (sorry almanac) and by non-waterproof back sack that slides onto my rack so that I could close my panniers all the way and I put my sleeping pad and uke on my rack with bungees. ). One of the books I shipped back that I hadn't used was the Five Tibetans by Christopher Kilham. The Five Tibetans is a series of five dynamic exercises that only take a few minutes to do and make you feel amazing. I do it all the time now and have to give it a plug. It is a great workout to incorporate to bike touring. We all did laundry, which was a major score after a rainy day. We watched world cup soccer, played some ukulele and ate lots of food. We tried to fix a neighbors walmart bike but it was too spaint. We talked to my cousins Tina's husband Bernie who informed us that North Dakota usually has a strong westerly wind. But that in his days flying back from North Dakota he has experienced the occasional tailwind. Aidan went on a ride over to see some dam. I rode to the hardware store bought some bungies, went back to the Safeway, bought a case of Big Sky Brewing Variety Pack and carried it with me back to the house. We drank some good Montana Beer and ate heartily. I felt very American.
