Discovering the High Plains

There are those who say there is nothing to see between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River, but we have found that when you slow down to cycling speed on the 'hi-line' you experience an incredibly rich variety of natural beauty and deep wells of human history.  What's more, if you can deal with the wind and stay awhile, you will find that people are very willing to share their stories, their personal histories and perspectives. Some, like the story of the German immigrant Jacob Bauer and his lifelong romance with Mary Walks-With-the-Wind, you find on museum walls, others you find just by talking to people. We would like to extend special thanks to Bruce, Mary Lou and their whole extended family in Chinook, Montana for the warm welcome and great time we had playing the old songs and getting to know you. We also thank you for your concern for the children of Haiti. Here's hoping our paths will cross again.
