Lincoln to Augusta, MT 57 miles
This is wonderful country but not a lot of folks. Skulls are common on the wall and there are plenty of The best Gun Control is a steady Hand signs.
For the first time on this trip I rode alone, mostly because I'm still feeling bad and just wanted it to be over. The ride over Rogers Pass was fairly easy but the rollers on the other side of the pass were a labor. You scream down into a little river valley and have to climb the mile or more steep hill on the other side. There were about 3 or 4 of these little beauties to keep us awake.
Augusta is a great little Montana town...they have real cowboys and everyone was small town friendly. We stayed at the Bunkhouse Inn which has about 10 rooms and two bathrooms. Since I was first into town I took the room across from one of the bathrooms and told everyone that the bathroom was exclusive to my room...no luck.
