Day 47

Corner Store Assessment- Sun River, MT

The crew enjoyed excellent riding conditions today biking from Geyser, MT to Sun River, MT (67 miles). The wind finally cooperated allowing us to arrive to town in plenty of time to enjoy the river and a couple games of spades without being exhausted. We're camped at the local fishing spot right on the river with a huge horse in a pasture being our only visible neighbor. Everyone in the group is looking forward to the three days off in Glacier.

Background: Sun River is located in central Montana and has a population of approximately 100-150. Most locals work in Great Rapids (20 miles away) and buy their groceries there as well. There is no local farmer's market, but the town of Vaughn (8 miles away) does sponsor one weekly. Activity levels appear normal.
