Day 18 - Short of Darby to Wisdom

We had a relatively easy six-mile ride to Darby where we had a good breakfast and visited Lightfoot Cycles which manufactures recumbent bikes there.  I test rode one which took a little getting used to. I had remembered an article on the company in Adventure Cycling magazine.  Then it was on to attack the 3,241 climb over the continental divide at Chief Joseph Pass.  It was a long, hot climb but we held up well and continued down the other side to Wisdom, MT, which I now realize is the mosquito capital of the world.  Though it was 90 degrees, I dawned my jacket, pants and gloves to pitch my tent.  When done, I quickly dove into the tent for the night. That was 68 tough miles.
