Day 13- Jackson to Virginia City

Another gorgeous day in Montana, although it started off freezing cold
this morning! I wore all my kit to keep warm for the first 50miles,
then the sun finally started doing its job. Sadly, I can't say the
saddle sores are getting better, actually they're getting worse!
(Almost) Literally a pain in the arse! But I'll be darned if this is
going to stop me, and my first rest day is coming up on Sunday- in
Yellowstone!

This part of Montana was populated mainly during the gold rush.
Virginia City, and neighbouring Nevada City (a ghost town) are
original western settlements, and look like they're right out of an
old Western! I quite like looking around, though it wouldn't keep me
excited for long. The B&B I'm staying in is a little gem! It's a stone
house built in the 1880s, with lots of original features. It actually
has a very European feel to it, and is so cosy. I can't wait for
breakfast! (well that is always true)
