July Montana/Idaho Ride

We loaded up and trailered to Missoula on July 27th after work. We stayed the night at Wingate hotel. Tuesday morning Todd picked up his rental and the local HD and we were off! We headed to Kalispell, then up to Glacier National Park. It was a nice day to the top of Glacier, then it rained hard the rest of the way to Great Falls where we called it a day. Stephen ran out of gas 3 miles from Great Falls. It was a good thing Bob came to rescue him with gas. We stayed at the Holliday Inn. Stephen was very dissapointed the Hot Tub was "out of order"

Lunch at Kallispell

Day 2 we road from Great Falls down to Red Lodge for lunch. Then we went over Beartooth Pass. It was absolutly beautifull!! From there back down to Cooke City, through Yellowstone park and back up to Bozeman where we stayed at the Cm'on Inn! It was actually very nice. The hot tub was just luke warm however! 570 miles really wore everyone out.

I think Duane is trying to take off!

Lunch in Red Lodge - It was a really great burger and the onion rings were monstrous

Day 3 we met some friends in Stanley, took a gravel road from Dillan to Ledore, and road beautifull eastern idaho. We stayed in McCall at the Holliday Inn Express and actually got in intime to eat a actual meat for dinner. The hot tub was AWESOME. Back to back 500 mile days are wearing on us!

Day 4 was very hot. The final leg took us from McCall back to Missoula over Lolo Pass. It was our third time over Lolo. That road never gets old. It is a must for anyone who has never been over it! We had a great time and we are all ready to go again soon.....
