I was well fed and well rested.<\/p>\n<p>At about 1:30pm when it was getting uncomfortably hot and windy I stopped for a long lunch at a restaurant run by Christians in Boulder, MT. I could tell it was Christian by the large official looking plaque outside with scripture on it. It had a name like &#8216;Mountain Good&#8217; or something. I ordered more than I could eat which is rare. I was sorry to leave most of a pie.<\/p>\n<p>It started to rain as I was about to leave. I made a note how lucky I was to not to be on the road. Just then a couple from British Columbia, who were not as fortunate, arrived on their bikes all dudded up in their rain gear. We chatted a bit before I road off to Butte which was 36 miles further down the highway.<\/p>\n<p>I arrived in Butte at about 7:45, checked in at the Best Western, and had a supper at Perkins. Tomorrow I will be aiming for Lima which, although it&#8217;s all highway, given the pace so far is rather ambitious.<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{\"blog_id\":9,\"permalink\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.7hannahs.net\\\/wordpress\\\/banff2mexico\\\/2016\\\/09\\\/01\\\/day-12-september-1-helena-to-butte\\\/\"}' class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular\" data-original-width=\"863\"><div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 858px; height: 239px;\"><div class=\"gallery-group images-1\" style=\"width: 429px; height: 243px;\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.7hannahs.net\/wordpress\/banff2mexico\/2016\/09\/01\/day-12-september-1-helena-to-butte\/img_20160901_124641\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"499\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.7hannahs.net\/wordpress\/banff2mexico\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160901_124641-e1474394751343.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"img_20160901_124641\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.7hannahs.net\/wordpress\/banff2mexico\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160901_124641-300x169.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.7hannahs.net\/wordpress\/banff2mexico\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160901_124641-1024x576.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.7hannahs.net\/wordpress\/banff2mexico\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160901_124641-e1474394751343-425x239.jpg\" width=\"425\" height=\"239\" align=\"left\" title=\"img_20160901_124641\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gallery-group images-1\" style=\"width: 429px; height: 243px;\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.7hannahs.net\/wordpress\/banff2mexico\/img_20160901_124625\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"498\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.7hannahs.net\/wordpress\/banff2mexico\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160901_124625-e1474394763192.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"img_20160901_124625\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.7hannahs.net\/wordpress\/banff2mexico\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160901_124625-300x169.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.7hannahs.net\/wordpress\/banff2mexico\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160901_124625-1024x576.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.7hannahs.net\/wordpress\/banff2mexico\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2016\/09\/IMG_20160901_124625-e1474394763192-425x239.jpg\" width=\"425\" height=\"239\" align=\"left\" title=\"img_20160901_124625\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Odometer:564 &#8211; 632 ( 68 miles, 109 kilometers) Today was civilized.
