A little more GE work this morning before supply shopping & breakfast at the Cedar Creek Cafe. Sad to find that it had changed hands & the friendly people I had come to know had all moved on without a trace!!
Consolation was beef hash which was just as good but service was hurried & impersonal – only open for breakfasts until 11AM, they would no longer accommodate me setting up office on my work days.
The route today was a relatively easy 40 miles to Ferndale plus further 5 miles to Big Fork CG, taking in the railway town of Columbia Falls, small ranches, clusters of homes of all types set in forests & open plains. Never far from civilisation but no cold coke to be had all day.
Ferndale is another ribbon community laid out along a mile or so – mostly there to serve those travelling highway 83. The community hub probably limited to a few churches & a supermarket one mile out of town.

Big Fork CG was a few miles off route but considered by many to be the place to camp!! Unfortunately A Bar Montana’s big dinners delayed our arrival until dusk – just enough time to pitch tents. The setting is amazing. We had a little issue with warden on where bikers should be, but soon talked him round.
