Dillon, MT

It's kindof funny - just had to look at my map to remember what town I'm in to put a subject on this post :).

Nice ride today, although quite hot. Moderate traffic, but generally nice roads, not too many climbs except for one nice long one this morning. Had a couple packs of poptarts for breakfast this morning, then stopped in a little restored old town called Nevada City for an awesome breakfast burrito. As I was chatting with the wait staff and waiting for food, my TA from Calc 2 last semester, McCall, walked in for breakfast. Turns out she works up there during summers waiting tables and fly fishing. Small world!

Not too much else to report really. Still on track to get to Missoula on Monday and on track to go on the rafting trip in a week or so! Looking forward to both of those things.

It's nice to have goals within reach. I'm within days of friends and a big change of scenery (or at least mode of transport ;) .) Definitely something to look forward to rather than just riding to get to another random small town. I've also been looking forward to getting done with the trip and back to Boulder. Things out here are definitely enjoyable, but I do sometimes miss the comforts of home, seeing friends, having a real kitchen, all that good stuff. Looking forward to getting back into the grind of school too. Not so much because it's fun, but more because I want to get it done. That said, this next semester has the potential to be pretty interesting - am lined up to take some neat classes that should be fairly challenging as well.
