EPISODE #7 A night in jail
Honestly, who would have thought that a night in jail and a full campground would lead to such great adventures? That's what travel is about too: trusting the unknown and letting go. Is it the magic of bike travel that gives us these timeless moments, or just the luck of meeting the right people at the right time? Either way, we plan to enjoy it again and again!
EPISODE #8 Spat on by a llama
We finally meet Barbara and John, the famous owners of the Llama Ranch, an iconic place we had heard so much about. We also meet Dawn and Scott, who open the doors of their town, Helena, Montana, and introduce us to their local traditions and customs. Moments of sharing and immersion in the local culture!
