Missoula

We've made it to our rest day in Missoula, Montana-and we head to Idaho tomorrow. Montana was a lot of fun because we continued the tradition of Mustache Montana. Most the guys shaved their beards, and the girls drew mustaches on our faces everyday. We spent a lot of time explaining the tradition along the way.

The ride to Drummand, Montana was stressful. We had three flats along the way, two in which the van had to come back to supply tubes and tires. Luckily, we were warmly welcomed to the church with tons of food.

The ride into Missoula was a lot of fun. It was a short ride of 53 miles, and we stopped at the hot springs. We swam into a cave, which was really cool. It took me some time to get the courage to swim into the cave, but it was definitely worth it.

Missoula is a really cool town. I ran up to the M on top of a hill yesterday, and the view was amazing.  We're currently enjoying the mountain weather at a very fancy cafe.
