The tour is done. I finished on Tuesday this week in Missoula. My S.O. and Luna the wonder pup met me in Missoula at the Adventure Cycling Association's headquarters. Great ride. There were quite difficult days and some really gorgeous, wondrous days. I am still in Montana now 'officially' on vacation and have limited Internet connectivity, so updating the blog will be, not very often really.
