After the second rest stop at mile 39, we turned on MT 83 for the final 15 miles, and things got more difficult. The headwind/crosswind reduced my speed to about 9 mph, and it was difficult to keep going in a straight line. Road construction slowed us down somewhat, and although we had a brief 15 minute respite from following traffic (only one lane of vehicles were allowed through the construction site at a time), once the new cluster of 50 or so vehicles caught up, things were not pleasant. Thankfully we made it through unscathed.
Views along Salmon Lake were gorgeous. Seeley Lake is a small community nestled in the Lolo National Forest in western Montana. Tomorrow will conclude this journey. We have been blessed and impressed with God's creation.
