I spoke with Marshal Bird briefly this morning as he fueled up in Helena.  He seemed to be in good spirits - he's dealing with aches and pains as expected, but having a great ride.  Marshal said that he's having an issue with charging his electronics (a broken wire), including his lights and phone, which is why he hasn't been able to call mtbcast or his wife as he had planned.  He's trying to save the little bit of juice left in his phone until he's able to take the time to repair his charging system, hopefully at a hotel sometime in the next couple nights.  He may also buy a portable charger if he can find one.

It was great seeing him go through - he's having an impressive ride!
