Yesterday, we biked from Broadus, MT to Busby, MT (83 miles) on the Crow Indian Reservation. Unfortunately, there was no internet signal to provide a post. The following is the Corner Store Assessment for the small, Indian town of Busby.
Description: Busby has a fairly small population (approximately 600-700) of mostly Native Americans on the Crow Indian Reservation. There was only one convenience store in town that provided mostly food and beverage products. It did not supply gasoline. There is no farmer's market in town, however, there is one in Ashland, MT (approximately 37 miles away). Most citizens travel 17 miles to Lame Deer to purchase groceries. The town did not have much of a park or recreation area to promote physical activity.

We just finished biking 95 miles from Busby to Billings. It was a very long day of biking through the heat and hills of Montana. Some highlights for the day include touring Little Bighorn and being escorted into Billings by the local sheriff's office. Now, my time will be spent fixing up my bicycle (which has an enormous slash in the rear tire), washing clothes, and resting. Special thanks goes out to Zach Jansen's family of Billings for putting up with our crew for the evening.
