Day 6

We made it to Glacier Saturday afternoon and decided to go ahead and ride the "Going to the Sun" parkway. Words cannot describe how pretty it was. We played in the snow at Logan's Pass, saw mountain goats, prairie dogs and took in all of the sights. We got on the road Saturday morning at 6:30 a.m. and parked the bike last night at 10:30-----a total of 16 hours. What a big day we had. They close the top of the mountain at Logan's Pass at 9:00 p.m. so we circled the mountain and took what we thought was a short cut. First we saw signs that said "free range cattle", then "high wind gusts", then "falling rock", then "deer crossing", then "rough break". Little did we know that "rough breaks" mean that the pavement ended, dropped off 6-8 inches and went to pea gravel and wash-board dirt roads before returning to pavement, within 30 - 40 feet. I think I prayed out loud!! We saw a new Corvette headed headed in the opposite direction of us and wonder how he would like those rock chips in his new red paint. It was getting dark by the time we got back to the "main road" and there were cows and horses roaming along the road.

This morning we woke up to a beautiful rainbow and were provided with another great day.

We are currently in Missoula, Montana, which is about

miles from the Idaho state line. Tomorrow we will take the Hwy 12, the scenic route across Idaho (175 miles) and across the Bitterroot Mountain Range and should be in Washington tomorrow. Patti suggested we ride the Washington/Oregon state line which carries you along Columbia River.....still staying off of the interstates!!

Check out the picture of our ghost riders....they follow along with us every morning and every afternoon.

Posting two days worth of pics, so also check out day 7!!
