Day 36 - Terry, MT to Wibaux, MT - 67 miles ................ 1499 total miles
We started the day with a wind coming over our right shoulders which helped us make good time to Glendive. We had lunch and decided it was too early to stop, knowing the next 30 miles would be challenging as we'd be riding into a strong headwind. We left the Yellowstone River and started a very long gradual climb to Wibaux. It was a tiring afternoon. The scenery continues to gorgeous but be didn't have the energy to take many pictures. We realized this is our last night in Montana, that's exciting!

Day 37 - Wibaux, MT to Dickinson, ND - 73 miles .......... 1572 total miles
A new state today! Rumor has it North Dakota is flat and the prevailing winds are from the west, NOT! We were greeted with a northeast wind which switch to east later in day and it seemed like we were pedaling uphill all day. The scenery continued to unfold as we rolled along. We also rode on the freeway, I-94, all day. We were a bit apprehensive at first but felt very safe because of the wide, 8-10 foot shoulder. Traffic was light until we reached Belfield. From Belfield to Dickinson we saw many oilfield vehicles from the activity in the Bakken field around Williston. The last miles were tough with the headwind, perceived uphill (maybe we were just tired) and the noise from the heavier traffic. Had some dinner and a shower, life is good
