We left Dillon and started upward.

| The black and brown horses watched us closely. |

 |
| Pata makes it to the top! |
 |
| She rode, she saw, she conquered. |
 |
| Time to rest a bit...climbing is hard work. |
 |
| Hooray for reaching the top. |
 |
| Like many signs in Montana, this one is full of bullet holes. |
We actually had two passes that day: Badge Pass and then Big Hole Pass. After Badger Pass there was a delicious downhill and David hit 42 MPH and even I hit 41 MPH -- the fastest I have ever traveled on a bicycle. It was fun as there was no traffic to speak of and the road was good.
We stayed in Jackson, MT in a tiny cabin at the Jackson Hot Springs Lodge. It was warm and I was thankful to indoors.

We then went an easy 18 miles to Wisdom, MT where I was expecting a package at the post office. (It came that afternoon.) We are off to ride over the continental divide tomorrow. (YIKES!)

Yay-- the package came! The other one is on its way to Missoula; should be there by Monday or Tuesday.
Congrats on passing go and collecting all sorts of accolades from us!
