Well after another night in Red Lodge we headed back to Beartooth Mountian. We got ahead of schedule all week so we decided to do the best motorcycling part again. We got on the road early and had the road to ourselves other than a few other riders. This time we looked and stopped a bit more. We even too some of the nicer dirt roads looking for the rumored bears in the park. Still seen none. We did spend an extended amount of time at Top of The World..the store near the top of the pass, got to talking to many other riders and visitors. One couple from Mississippi said they had seen wolves, a griz and moose..lucky sob's...wish we seen a moose or bear.
I think we will be back here..maybe bring a GS and a quad and see the back country...it could be a vacatiojn in its own.
After the "tooth" we turned east for home on Chief Joesph somebody's highway. It was another area ajacent to the beartooth range. It too was great to see and was a fast riding road with big sweepers.
After the Chief we cut back through Cody, and Lovell to the fames 14a which crosses the northern portion of Big Horn. It was another great ride with some real mountian climbing on the pavement. Great views and super sweepers. This is where we crossed granite pass which is pictured below.
After all that we hit the slab for Sheridan WY but when we got there we still had more miles in us so we headed to Buffalo where we are now in a Comfort Inn. Had a great dinner at Winchesters just off exit 58 of I90...its a steak house next to a slaughter house...I had steak. No surprise.
Maybe no update tommorrow. Our plan is to get out early to Rapid City hitting Devils Tower along the way. Then load up in Rapid City and head for the barn skipping or hotel in Rapid city and hopefully get a few hundred miles on the road tomorrow afternoon.
sucks to come home...can someone ship the cats to us?
