Harlem to Havre to Chester 106 miles

Even in the summer it is easy to run into cold nights.  I mean nights that get into the 40s and 30s. My sleeping bag is rated to 20 degrees F. I like to take a wide range of clothes for comfort too.    Rain pants and jacket provide a nice wind break and line them with leggings and a long sleeve top.  I like my micro puff jacket for the mornings and evenings in camp.

The temp chart for Harlem, MT.

Coming into Chinook. Population 1200. A chinook is a warm wind from the eastern side of the Rockies.

I learned that the high schoolers are known officially as the Sugarbeeters. We do a lot of sugar beets in Michigan.

It is great that these towns develop a city park for people to gather.

Nice to see the Bear Paw mountains in the distance.

There are 14 museum sites across the state. Be sure to check these out.

The Empire Building has a stop in Havre and I remember it from my train trips.

Havre is named after the French port city of Le Havre.  This is a major railroad service center because it is midway between Minneapolis and Seattle.  The city has around 9300 people.

What a great spot to recharge.

In Hingman I am now at 3031'

Downtown Hingman. Think of this place when you eat your cereal.

Old (wooden) and new (steel) elevators. Constant reminders of farming.

Ha!

This hot spot when the mild weather is here. A draw for classic cars.

Chester has about 1000 people and is at 3133'.
