Home Safe

We arrived home yesterday afternoon just ahead of the rain. I should say "I" arrived home. Carlton has 750 miles to go today and it looks like he may get wet. He left just over an hour ago for Garland. The temperature was in the upper 40s so he was bundled up:

That's pretty much how we started the last two mornings. We were sure glad we brought that winter gear especially at the top of Beartooth pass Friday morning. That was more than a bit nippy:



I realize you can't see how cold it is in the picture so you'll just have to take my word for it. 43F with a 40mph wind is cold enough; add a 70mph speed limit and you start to looking forward to those hairpins for the reduced wind of lower speed as well as the fun factor.


I haven't really started my ride report yet but I wanted to share these pictures, they're some of my favorites. I think that between the two of us we took over three hundred pictures so we have a lot to choose from:





It may be a while before I get my trip report done but I'll continue to post little snippets here in the mean time.

It was a great trip and I'd do it again in a minute! In the just over three thousand miles I rode just under one thousand of it was interstate and the over two thousand that was not was almost all curvy to one extent or another. Even some of the interstate was more fun than you would think.

This little bit of I90 just east of Missoula is a lot curvier than it looks.

More Later
