Red Lodge is Hopping

Big biker rally coming up - lots of motorcycles in town. Red Lodge cafe down the street there is a good place to eat.

Pool at White Sulphur

It's nice and clean. I'd like to try it in the winter. I'm headed to Livingston, Columbus and Red Lodge today. Camping at the Sheridan National forest campground at the bottom of the Beartooth highway. Looking like another beautiful day.

White Sulphur

They have an outdoor warm pool and an indoor hot pool - from natural hot springs. They let me park my bike in the courtyard at the entrance to the pool. After fighting the wind for a couple of hundred miles today a soak in warm water felt great.

Cool Fish in Choteau

Choteau is a nice town. I needed a break from the wind. I'm in Great Falls now and it's been blowing hard for 100 miles or so. I'd forgotten how windy it can be up on the highline - nothing to stop the wind (trees, hills, valleys). It was blowing so hard the birds were flying backwards.

St Mary Campground

Slept here Sunday. It's on the East end of the Going to the Sun Highway.

Spent Saturday Night Here

Lots of motorcycles and loud partying in the cabins. Good thing I had my earplugs.

Northeast Tip of Idaho

Came in this way from Creston BC

Curlew Lake State Park

On highway 21 North of Republic Wa. I spent Friday night here. Good swimming spot.

Hardly any cars or people - but good cell phone coverage - who'd a thought

It's a Beautiful Country
