Catching Up, Glacier National Ending in Billings Montana

Now we play catch up. For today, Sunday, you will see only one picture of Bob and Bev. It reflects our days weather - cold, wet, and miserable all day. Yesterday was entirely different. We spent the day covering the east side of Glacier National. Once again I've edited the amount of pictures. I think this was our most exciting day in reference to our animal sightings. Bev and I saw our first Grizzly Bear about 50 yards from us. We thought it was a large rock until it started moving towards us. We all saw the long horn sheep that are featured in the picture. Sorry we didn't get a picture of the bear we weren't quick enough. Wonderful day, beautiful weather, and great friends to share with. This is one we won't forget. God Bless.

here we go again!

Glacier National, finally here.

Today's weather was wonderful. Each day a new location to take our breath away. Wow people, our country is spectacular! I mean breath taking beautiful!! We left Missoula Mt. to spend the day in Glacier National Park. So much to see, it will take a couple of days. So many outstanding pictures, it was hard for me to decide which ones to post. I hope this gives you all a taste of what we encountered.
Tomorrow we will see a different area - part of it is still closed because of avalanche possibilities - however we are seeing some of the best parts. They tell us it's the luck of the draw whether you see everything. They've had snow every month of the year. More pictures tomorrow from Glacier. God Bless, check out the video.

Lewis and Clark Highway, Idaho to Montana US 12.

We left Washington State and entered Idaho. We arrived at the green wonder of an otherwise boring state. We rode through over 200 miles of pure beauty, a local favorite road not known to many outside the state - Route 12 Lewis and Clark highway. If you are ever out this way Don't miss this road. We followed the Clearwater River up over 6000 ft. At the top of the mountain we said goodbye to Idaho and hello Montana. Outstanding day to be on a motorcycle. Day's like this is why we love to travel in the open. I'm in awe of God's canvas. Enjoy the pictures and hopefully the video's - more tomorrow. Our plans are to go to Glacier National tomorrow. Tonight we are in Missoula Mt.
