Jul 12 - Day 18

Ned and Jerry cleaned up their bikes after breakfast at the motel, then began day's ride. Ladies had breakfast, then stopped at a neat quilt shop. Bikers saw nothing all day except hay bales. The four of us met at McDonalds in Wolf Point, MT for lunch, then bikers continued on to Poplar, MT for a total day's ride of 70 miles, new trip total is 1178. Ladies checked into motel in Wolf Point, then spent the afternoon looking for lodging for tomorrow night. Finally found a room at Sidney, MT, which is out of the way but best we could do. All motels in and around Williston, ND are always full due to a local oil boom. Ladies went to Poplar, MT to collect Ned and Jerry where they were having a milk shake. This area is part of the Fort Peck Indian Reservation and some of the small towns are a little scary.
