Libby to Eureka MT

 Eagle

 Rabbit

 Deer

Rock climbing

I rode out of Libby on an old haul road that is apparently no longer in use ... best out of the way section so far ... all to myself ... as I paused for a break a pair of eagles perched in a tree right beside me ... incredible ... I have never been so close to an eagle ... and the rest of the day was more of the same ... rabbit, deer ... a beautiful, vibrant coyote was within 25 feet at the edge of the road as I was passing by ... we startled each other ... he looked healthy but not the least bit afraid as we remained fixed eye to eye, so I thought it better not to stop and try for that great shot ... back on the main route, cutting the roads through the rock has created a haven for climbers ...
