It was a very-few-pictures kind of day. I rode 99.1 miles from Grass Range to Jordan, making this both my longest day of this trip and the most one-day eastward progress.

My first couple of pictures were from the Cat Creek Rest Area, which is about 48 miles into the day's ride (i.e. not quite halfway). There was an interesting valley with scrub juniper growing prolifically in some nearby areas. It's hard to tell much from these pictures...other than it's flat and the weather is good.

I stopped for a nice cold Coca-Cola at Sand Springs.

I pushed higher-than-usual mileage today because I really didn't want to have to be sagged backwards tomorrow morning and I wanted to get a little ahead of schedule.. So I cranked out almost 25 extra miles. Near the end of the ride, I took a couple more landscape photos. And other than the scrub juniper being missing, it's hard to tell much difference.

I did see quite a few pronghorn antelope today. But I was never close enough to get any reasonable photos of them. You'll just have to trust me. On this trip, I've see plenty of deer (mostly whitetail, but also a couple mule deer), antelope, osprey, a bald eagle, a great blue heron, a skunk, grouse (unknown variety, but maybe sage grouse and/or dusky grouse), Gambel's quail, sandhill cranes, and a ring-necked pheasant. There may have been other wild critters, but that's what I can recall off the top of my head.

I think two more days in Montana and then into North Dakota.
