With the temperature heading to 80 and nothing on the agenda, it was a good day to head back to Harlowton. The trip I did last week got me wanting to return specifically to do a drawing of their movie theater.
I loaded up and got going about noon. Just as I was going the wind picked up and I rode with a crosswind or a head wind for the entire 90 mile ride. I turned south on their main street, Central Avenue South, and parked across the street from the theater.
I got out my stool and drawing gear and settled in for an hour and a half to do the sketch and ink it. Here's what I was looking at.
To do the watercolor I wanted to get out of the wind so I went down a block and did that at Gally's Brewing.
Here's the completed drawing.
With the watercolor done it was time to head back to Billings.
Here is the main street of Harlowton.
With the wind behind me I just sailed. When I got to Shawmut I decided to go up Hwy 287 for a few miles.
When I got to Cushman, I pulled over to the bridge that crosses the Musselshell River.
I cruised on back to Billings, gassed up, and put the bike away.
It was a 191 mile day.
