Big Fork is an impressive camp on the NE edge of Flathead Lake An impressive 35 miles long & up to 7 miles wide. Largest lake west of the Great Lakes – very popular. Though my leg has improved massively since riding out of Banff, it does not like the very steep climbs on loose gravel.

Therefore today I took a pleasant ride to our next camp, a quarry just across from Cedar Creek CG – the local Ranger Station providing our fresh water.
It was another cloudless day – temperatures of 35C made all peddling exhausting.

About to turn in, I was hanging food & caught sight of a cyclist aimlessly wandering around looking for a pitch. This was our first meeting with Harold from Norway, 65, he has since become a member of our Divide Team.
