trailer running: hardin MT & buffalo WY


Bucci the BobCat hard at work in my sock drawer

Hardin MT is one of those little towns like you see on the I-95 . Every fast food franchise known to man , a bunch of sleep cheaps …. the expectation bar is pretty low . I wondered if I could handle a run here ?? Took off from the (wifi / shower - equipped) campground and headed out a side road and hoped for the best . It was great ! Past a couple tidy ranches and a farm growing some kind of cabbage and the road turned to gravel . Then it drew alongside the coolest old cemetery you've ever seen ! Fairview ! Great name …. and it was a great view of town . Flowers everywhere . I very recently lost an Aunt who I loved very much . It hurt not being able to be with her or the family …. but this really helped somehow . There was a lot of peace here . Thnx Hardin - Fairview .

A few hours down the road from Hardin, through the Crow Reservation and the Little Bighorn, is Buffalo WY . I really wanted to come here . It made for the shortest drive of the journey so far, so I had lots of time to visit . There is some great history here, one of the countries neatest hotels ( the Occidental ) , and some great running .

Rode my bike from camp into town, and had the opportunity to check out the running trail ( 17 miles ) . Long Run ! I figured I needed a beer to carbo load for the long run and rambled in to the Occidental Saloon . I have been in some great western saloons . . . This one is a stand-out. I had a great local Amber and talked food and music with the bartender and my "compas" at the bar . Ready for the run
