Day 7 - We made it to Big Sky country

A lovely day riding across North Dakota and Montana.  Woke up refreshed and ready for some more adventure (except road construction).  We left Williston North Dakota early in the morning and it was beautiful!  Funny,  I don't think of the Dakotas as beautiful but they are.  You can see forever across the endless acres of golden grain swaying in the breeze.  We watched the sun rise as we were riding our bikes and we're mesmerized at the way this gentle land began to stir.  Certainly these Dakota people are all early risers so by the time the sun began to come up you could see all the farmers already at work.  By 6:30 am these good people were plying their trade.  God bless them one and all. 
As we hit the Montana state border it began to rain and rain it did for 2 1/2 hours.  I like riding in the rain though - the smell,  the cool temperatures,  the way everything looks new and shinny.  Then a full rainbow appeared,  a rainbow that stretched across the entire western horizon.  It was so beautiful we had to pull over and take some pictures.  This is Big Sky country in full display!
Did I tell you I love taking these road trips across America?  It is breathtaking sometimes.  Today was 420 miles of some of God's finest work.
