7 days to the North
« on: September 15, 2013, 01:18:11 PM »
So I had been planning a trip East but plans changed so Tigger ( my stuffed riding buddy ) and I headed North for a week.
I tried a app ( bubbler ) to gps my trip it worked pretty good and I will use it again.
Map of trip

The best part of day 1 was missing this storm in Salmon ID

 
Day 2 started with some morning fog through the Bitterroot valley in MT

 

 
Above Missoula I hit Hwy 200 what a sweet road.

 

 

 
Day 3 starts with more fog leaving Bonners Ferry ID

Most of this day was spent like this alone on a road at times it was a little leery
 

But there were these guys

Did not see anyone for hrs



Man I like this bike

Day 4 was spent up and over and back around Glacier Nat park
 
I guess you can call this riding above the clouds





 
Day 5 was through the big valleys of Montana heading to Bozeman


Along the way stopped at this neat old town

 
Day 6 was over to Cooke City then the Beartooth and over to Cody WY





Feeding the locals

 
Day 7 was just get home cause work was coming up but I had to snap this shot cause the tallest thing in this shot is the fence posts....LOL got to love WY

 
All in all a great trip bike ran great and I only got rained on one and a half days can't wait till the next one

I recognize that location. I stayed at that hotel and parked my bike in that same space 2 years ago.

This shot looking back at the switch backs on Chief Joseph pass is obligatory. I have the exact photo and have seen it here on this forum several times.
