Now that all of the fun is over, it's time to head back east. We've had a great trip so far, but it's time to head back. Starting out from Great Falls, Montana, it's a long ride back across the country to North Carolina. There's not much to do, except ride and enjoy the scenery.
We saw lots of deer and antelope this morning, but as the day went on we saw less and less. The country was pretty and everyone enjoyed just riding and looking. Sarah wanted me to mention that we saw some of the biggest dandelions we've ever seen today. The puff ball heads on them were the size of a softball. When we stopped at a rest area, I picked her and Lily one so they could blow the seeds off.
Today was Lily's birthday, so we stopped to celebrate at Applebee's. The wait staff sang to her and she got a hot fudge sunday; she was 13 today.
Once again, as the sun went down, we were met by our evening barrage of insects. They're small, but there are thousands of them in each of the thousands of swarms we drive through.
Gas is getting more expensive, it was around 4.05 today, but we are getting a little better gas millage at about 25mpg... Must be because we're headed south.
