The Magic of Marsh Creek



 After several days roughing it in various wild camps, I had the very real pleasure of staying at Barbara Nye's cyclists cabin. Look at the smile on my face, I loved staying there! (tour below) Alongside the human company, there was lots of local wildlife to enjoy too - deer, moose, coyote and sandhill cranes.


More than just offering me a place to stay, Barbara (and John and Stormie) acted as my surrogate guardians, showing me the local area including a ride into Helena, the state capital. I enjoyed the delights of huckleberry ice cream, a visit to Costco and dinner with Barbara's near neighbours. A fantastic insight into Montana life which I would have missed if I'd just pedalled on. If you're reading this guys, you are awesome (dudes)!

The next day I had to continue with my journey (and camping). At least I had some company from some other Dividers, here we are in search of a campsite at dusk.

  1. Aww missed you at work today - there were many salads (two pasta and two potato ones) and cakes however the absence of your hand crafted courgette fondue was very noticeable.

  2. Hope the new term is going well! If it's any consolation what I'm doing is certainly not easy but it's been good to break the routine. I'll prepare the courgette fondue next year...
