Day 87: Tuesday, July 5, 2011

75 miles to Ennis RV Village, Ennis, Montana
We biked along the Madison River today and passed through Earthquake Area of the Gallatin National Forest.  On August 17, 1959, an earthquake, registering 7.3 to 7.5 on the Richter scale, hit Southern Montana.  The effects were devastating and can still be seen today.  Earthquake Lake was created and stands to remind us again of the force of Mother Nature.  The clouds here are phenomenal and I have included a few photos of them in the album for your enjoyment.
