Today we biked along the Koocanusa (Koo-Can-Usa) lake, a 60 mile long resivore created by the Kootenai Dam. It was incredibly beautiful. The lake is named for the Kootenai County (Koo), Canada (Can) and USA.

That brought us, of course to Eureka, MT, where we are staying with the First Baptist Church. It was great to be here and talk with them. Though, the fellowship group here this evening was pretty small; all of their kids are at camp and i think i heard that a lot of the adults are on a chior tour/mission trip of sorts. But it was still great to fellowship with the ones that were here!
Last night, in Libby, on of the guys at the church made balloon animals. I asked him to make me a giraffe, which I then attached to my bike bag today. Henry enjoyed the ride. :)
This was the view as we were coming into Eureka. I've really enjoyed the mountains, and I'm sad that in just a couple of days we'll be moving into the plains of eastern Montana and the mid-west. But, I'm sure it will have it's own beauty.

I also had the chance to talk to the VBS group in CA again today. They are a great bunch. As I told them, the team has biked (almost) the distance from LA to San Francisco and back again, now. And we're only 1/6th of the way done.

Now, it is again time for bed. It's amazing how the time slips away from me.


PS On the right, you will find a list of links to all the blogs that the team has. I'd encourage you to check those out as well and get a different perspective on the trip.
