The grocery store at Conrad is very good and after breakfast we had cakes, loading ourselves up with carbs. The ride was fairly flat as far as Valier, where we sat in a park on the site of the impressive 1903 hotel that used to be here and burnt down some years ago - there's a local history board in the park. Valier is yet another of those places that used to be a big agricultural centre but lives on in a smaller and quieter way now. We then did the 28 miles or so to Cut Bank. There's more climbing in this section, with some huge wheat fields on both sides of the road. This is Spring wheat and so not all of it has yet been harvested and it is a glorious sight. There were huge numbers of grasshoppers on the road, pinging on our spokes and impossible to avoid. We passed the place where Lewis and Clarke, the early explorers, had their only battle with the Indians, some tried to steal guns and horses after appearing friendly. This is back in 1806. The road had some impressive valleys - the most impressive being the valley of the Two Medicine River. Cut Bank is on hill and the Sunset RV Park is perched high by the river which has cut a fair gorge for itself. We are camping on a pleasant bit of grass by a gazebo. When shopping at the Albertsons supermarket a Native American welcomed us to Blackfeet territory, he claimed his ancestors had lived here for 500,000 years, longer than the Australia's aborigines. The blackfeet lands stretch up to Canada. He said we should watch our bikes - meth addicts will steal. It all seemed very safe though. The town of Cut Bank is not actually on Blackfeet land - which we were told stops at the river below our campsite. We ate the usual huge, and herby, salad and drank Mountain Man Scotch Ale - very good - the Jeremiah Johnson brewery in Great Falls. Shortly after eating a thunderstorm scrazed the town. Raining and a little thunder. There's a classic trestle railway bridge near here - the trains trundle over it regularly as they head west, with double decker containers.... We are here. You'll notice the swimming pool near our location, closed today, to give us our fix of seeing unavailable blue pools of water. The photo shows a modest thunder cloud trying to catch up with Guy.
