Yeehah. Can’t believe those 74 miles flew by in just a little over 6 hours. I guess I’m rested.

The ride was delightful. I love these frontage roads. Very little traffic, nice scenery, can ride somewhat relaxed. Hardly ever a truck. I did have to ride 10 miles on the interstate, but even that was good. Big wide shoulder.

I was on the wrong side of the interstate, and these were the best shots I could get. These cars fell in the Yellowstone River. Quite the excitement here.

I haven’t talked much about weeds lately because there haven’t been many. I did notice the milkweed a couple of days ago, but it was sparse. Only one or two plants once in a while. Well, today, I saw a whole field of them. Some rancher has a big problem. And, amongst them along the roadside, were 4 ft tall mullein plants. The past few days have just been grass, grass, grass. It’s interesting how quickly the roadsides change. I tho’t I saw the first thistles, but not sure. Flying by too fast. Haha.

Also, today, I saw the first corn fields, wheat, and beet fields. So weird because beside the road were yucca plants. They should not be growing in the same area. And none of the crops were irrigated, but all looked really good.
