Today was another nice day of riding, especially with the tailwinds. When we're out on the plains and can see such a far distance we can see areas where it's raining. We saw rain ahead of us again today, but we never caught up to it. While we were eating lunch in a restaurant in Chinook there was a sprinkle, but that was all the rain we had.
Earlier today we stopped at Walmart in Havre. It was nice to buy food at about half the cost of what it is in convenience stores and the smaller grocery stores.
Tonight we are camping in the city park in Harlem, MT. We were able to get showers in the locker rooms at the city pool which is part of the park and right next to us.
An Ode To Rumble Strips
(from a bicyclist's perspective)

Rumble strips, oh rumble strips, please don't be no grumble strips.
The road you ride is the same as mine and we have to work together.
You stay on the left and not down the middle. Don't cause me to fall or jump just a little.
You wove, I weave around your pesky stream. To be rid of you is really my dream.
Your rhythmic ruts may help an auto; but as for me, it's not my motto.
