Ho Hum, just another day in Paradise!
While we started in Montana experiencing a great deal of rain, it has since cleared up and been nice riding West to East. We have traveled all the way across the state on US Highway 2. This highway has seen better days, even though the state has tried to upgrade the road, they have done so with varying grades of chip and seal. Let me tell you, the rougher grades are rough on the seat. Mile markers are now up to 600+ miles
We spent 2 glorious nights in Glacier Park Lodge. (Top two photos) It was built in 1913 by the Great Northern Railroad. The beams are 40 feet high Douglas firs, railroaded to Glacier from Oregon. While it was rainy and cold(38) outstide, the huge fireplace was toasty inside and all were glad we were not riding.
The past couple of days have been generally flat and this been just as majestic, in its own special way. Today, people set new PR's for 100+ miles, as the day was sunny and an everpresent tail wind of about 15-20 mph. Some folks completed the trip in just over 4 hours. What a Day! What a Day!
