After a day off, the team was up and ready to go at 5:30 AM. After a delicious breakfast consisting of one pop-tart, half a bagel, and a bowl of cereal, the team was off to the old mining town of Philipsburg Montana.
The ride today was 80 miles, and we made great time. The scenery was beautiful. As we rode into town today, a panoramic of snow capped mountains greeted us in the distance. They’re beautiful for now, but we have to climb them in a couple of days….
We did not have a friendship visit today, but the Philipsburg rotary club sponsored our dinner. We had a delicious lasagna dinner, and I was able to try Huckleberry ice cream. The president of the rotary club talked to us about some of the work they do in town. Right now they are building an ice rink and accompanying changing/warm house. It sounds like they do a real good thing for the community.
After that, the owner of the old fashioned soda fountain treated us to ice cream. It was great. People are generally impressed about what we are doing, and it nice to talk to people about the Journey of Hope and people with disabilities, even though we didn’t have any friendship visits.
I’m really having a great time, and I really do believe that with our media events, friendship visits, and advocacy presentations we are really having a positive impact in the northwest so far this summer.
