57 miles to Rambling Moose Campground just outside Virginia City, MT. Today we met another bicycle tourer, Ken, from California. He's riding to Cleveland to see his brother and will be riding with us for the next 3 days. Most of today's ride went pretty well except for the last 7-8 miles which was up an extremely steep grade and against the wind. We really struggled. For several days now we have noticed tremendous amount of irrigation used on grassland for cattle. The use of that much water worries me - it seems unsustainable.
After setting up our tents we walked into Virginia City for dinner and to look around the old gold mining town.
Irrigation of grasslands everywhere.
