Dave running towards Bear Tooth pass..

Spectacular scenery for running and photos..

The trusty RV starts the climb up...

The early running was a slow climb..

Then it started to get steeper..

We did not even have to leave the road to see the most beautiful sights!

A photographers dream landscape..

Before we knew it we were right up in the snow!

We meet enthusiastic supporters everywhere, even on top of mountains!

Sukhajata is nearly at the top...  

The view is so vast and magestic in all directions, such a beautiful place to come on the 4th July!

The top of the pass is over 11,000 feet high, an essential spot for a team photo!

The next event on the schedule was the 4th July parade in Red Lodge

Every girl and her horse came out for the celebration...

We all got to hug this friendly clown before we started out in the parade!

Rupasi led the way proudly bearing the American flag...

Closely followed by Belarus and New Zealand...

Everyone wanted to hold the torch!

All kinds of people came out to the parade, in all kinds of costumes...

The World Harmony Run stickers were a big hit with the kids!

"I think I will keep this.."

Red Lodge seems like a great place to live!

Uhaina running out of Red Lodge in style..

We went from the icy winds at the top of Bear Tooth Pass to baking sun heading towards Roberts in just a few hours!

The bliss of life on the road!

Our final event of the day was the 4th July fireworks in Laurel, where the MC kindly gave an enthusiastic introduction to the World Harmony Run.

We were even allowed to light the torch, which really looked great as the sun went down...

Once again holding the torch gave joy to hundreds of people...

We love making new friends!

And finally it was time to sit back and enjoy the biggest fireworks display in the whole of Montana! Approximately 8,000 people live in Laurel, and an estimated 40, 000 people came from near and far to celebrate this special day!!

A glorious end to a very special peace, joy and action-packed day, Happy 4th July!
