An interesting Independence day

Yesterday was Dave's birthday and today was Paul B.'s. We didn't do a whole lot to celebrate, but it was fun to have to at least give cards to them. Thanks, Dave for being here and supporting us, and Paul, it's great to have you here on the trip with us!


Yesterday I saw Dandelions for the first time since day one of our trip in Washington. It's odd to get excited about things like that....
I think these are wild sunflowers. They were all over the side of the road this afternoon.


I also saw this random church as we were coming into Poplar. From a distance it looks abandoned, but there were flags outside... So who knows.

About the ride today.... it can be summed up pretty easily. It was Hot! We ate lunch under some trees at a park in Wolf Point. Nice place, and I am reallly glad that the trees were there. I ended up taking a nice nap.

This evening, after arriving in Poplar we went to an Indian Pow Wow a few miles further up the road. It was definitely an interesting experience. I'm really not sure how else to describe it. Though, we didn't spend a lot of time there. It lasts all weekend. They had some traditional dancing and wear. It was definitely a good experience.

Now, were're trying to figure out how to fit 10 people into a small house. Our host has been absolutely wonderful trying to make sure we all have a comfortable place to sleep. We're spread out all over the house!


Anyways, I need to get some sleep. Thank you for your prayers, especially for tonight and the security of our stuff. I think it will be ok. Everything is locked in the garage of the house we're staying at tonight.
