Three thousand miles from Prudhoe Bay Alaska to Great Falls, Montana and Hayley was waiting for them out on her porch. Matthew told her she was the first person they knew in 3000 miles. The bikers arrived in Great Falls on Tuesday afternoon and spent the afternoon floating on tubes in the Missouri River with Hayley and her friends. They spent the night in the home of Hayley's nice friends. As a "hospitality divedend", Matthew and Eric were busy helping with some home improvements for their generous hosts.. They were also shopping for food and planning ascents of Montana's high point, Granite Peak and the high point in Wyoming, Gannet Peak. They were spending another night in Great Falls. The bike riding may be almost over as they will be picked up by MIT friend Darren who lives in Havre, Montana. He will load up his Suburban and take them to the trailhead near Roscoe, Montana. Darren graduated with Eric and Matthew and was looking for some good climbing buddies. He will join in them in the adventures of climbing mountains in Montana and Wyoming. Early plans call for the adventurers to fly home out of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Stay tuned.
