I awoke undecided to exactly where my destination would be. After running around Spokane rounding up more gear I headed east on 90 through Idaho. (What did the one potato says to the other potato?..LMAO!)
My original itinerary took me north through Sand Point, ID – but after checking the weather – I opted for Missoula. I would’ve made it, but I gave into temptation and got off 90 at St. Regis on 135.
…Ahhh, Yes! I love these secondary roads. This leg proved to be the right choice as I soon found myself riding through the Paradise Valley, and onto a jaw dropping view of Flathead Lake with jagged snow capped peaks in the distance. (Ahhh, yes…)
This is the West… Here it is. It's easy to imagine the bike is actually a horse riding through wild country. On top of all that the weather was perfect!!!
I devoured a steak dinner in Kalispell. After which I was too tired and too lazy to unpack the bike, so naturally I just rode it right into my hotel room.
Sweet dreams...
(Sleep well, our Friction Zone Warrior, may peace ride with you, and the trail be happy and keep your pony dry.)
