Wednesday, July 10 – Cut Bank to Shelby, Montana"},"content":{"rendered":"

As we biked out of Cut Bank this morning, we were surprised to see a penguin\"\"<\/a> and <\/em>the statistic it boasted. \u00a0This town holds the world record for the largest drop in temperature in 24 hours; dropped one hundred degrees from 54\u00b0\u00a0…..Ouch, that’s cold!<\/p>\n

This area is all about oil drilling\"\"<\/a> and the railroad.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We biked gently rolling hills, void of trees\"\"<\/a>and wind.\"\"<\/a> We had a narrow shoulder that we shared with rumble strips,\"\"<\/a> making looking around a bit more precarious. \u00a0But the scenery changed little, so we had a chance to easily see it all.\"\"<\/a>The same storm that passed us two days ago, dropped a lot of rain here, still evident in puddles and the lush green fields.\"\"<\/a>On our approach into town, we thought these railcars were loaded with some alien spaceship transporter.\"\"<\/a> Any guess what this is? \u00a0Here’s another hint.\"\"<\/a>Give up?\"\"<\/a>These are parts to a wind turbine. \u00a0This one blade is the length of two rail cars, just enormous. \u00a0As promised a short ride (24 miles), but an opportunity to get caught up.\n\t\t
