Thanks for sending some of that rain and cool temps down to us in the desert. We have been hanging around 105 + and 10% humidity. Well it has rained a few sprinkles and the temps are down in the high 90s. Probably going to build a fire to stay warm. LOL Keep on riding and enjoying the trip. Jim

Hey you two... Looks like ya had a great ride! We love that route to Montana and it is still a fairly unknown road for Trikes and bikes. No matter how many times you travel it there is something different to see.... Both directions! Glad you enjoyed it..!! Be safe and a late Happy Birthday Mary! T & M

Thanks you two! That route is definitely on our list to ride again!

Yes, business partnerships don't usually work out so well, but Devin is a great guy, and we work well together.

Thanks!

Day 20 & our Time in Missoula concluded-


Well we got dumped on for about 30 minutes. I forgot to turn the video on, and Mary had the camera tucked away...but it was a "slow to 30 mph so I could sorta see rain", many cars were pulling over and stopping to wait it out.


Here is a look back at what we came thru-

It was in the high 40's, but our suits kept us dry and the electric jackets kept us warm.


We rode thru a bit more "regular" rain for about 20 minutes...

...Then it cleared up...

...and Mary got some good cloud pics.

The last few miles coming into Missoula it got warmer.

We're Here!

Even though it was only 254 miles from Stanley to Missoula, they were some great riding and scenic miles! Tri-Glide is running great, avg of 38 mpg.

We had a really great few days with Craig and Lydia!


Here's Lydia trying on grandma's helmet.

Lydia's been taking martial arts training, and it shows in this short video...I would Not want to be kicked by her!

I mentioned earlier, I got to meet up with Rick (missedem) and we had a great time talking bikes, solving the worlds problems, etc. I met up with him in Hamilton, about 40 miles outside of Missoula. Rick has a very nice Freewheeler, and after a couple hours of talking, we rode back to Missoula.


Here's a short video clip from our ride back. Click HERE to see it.








That's it for our time in Missoula. Next report will be our ride to Red Lodge, MT!

So I have the pictures all ready for the Ride Report tonight...but photobucket is not allowing me to upload them.


Ride Report from Missoula to Red Lodge will have to wait til tomorrow.


Today we spent the day in Ouray, CO with Fuzzy (Alan). Very happy he was able to meet up with us. We had a great day chatting and looking around Ouray a bit.


On a somber note, Mary's dad has taken a turn for the worse and probably will not make it thru next week. I'll be taking her to the airport tomorrow so she can fly home to see him before he goes. He has already hung on years past when doctors said he would, but he is at peace and ready to go now.
