Day 11
Missoula to Avon - 99 miles
The roads today were a lot better than our ride into Missoula. The area is very remote with very little services for the entire day.
We started out on the Clark Fork River and then road along the Blackfoot River. We went off route to Garret, a real ghost town. It has not changed since everyone left in the 20's.
Avon consists of five houses and one restaurant. The restaurant catered our dinner at our camp site. Their speciality is pie!!!
Our overnight was at a Christian camp where we had a cabin to sleep in. I shared one with Tom and Cheryl and ours was the only cabin with a bathroom. It is funny how the little things begin to mean a lot.
Today was long but one of the nicest so far.
