After returning from the ride I throw my bike back on the rack then step inside the van for a washcloth bath. It's a pretty sweet setup. The van's double doors face away from the empty parking lot so I can leave them open as I strip naked and cleaned up. It's a bath with a grand view of Montana wilderness at its best!

After cleaning up I high-tail it back to Bozeman. On the way out I'm able to snap a good picture of the road's washboard problem, the problem I mentioned earlier. It's caused by water draining across the road. Over time the grooves will grow wider and deeper, making fast driving a teeth-chattering experience.

The sun is setting as I make my way out of the park. I soon arrive back to Bozeman and sniff around town for an Internet connection. Once found, I settled down to catch up on my email and to work on the website. I eat a late dinner then hit the hay.

Tomorrow is going to be a day of rest, to kick back and relax, maybe explore Bozeman a bit.
