2011 CHURCHILL OR BUST DAY 2 MEDICINE HAT

ROAD TO THE SUN






ALBERTA





ALBERTA




Well we arrived at Medecine Hat as planned tonight, so we are ready to move onto Regina tomorrow. When we left Kallispell we took the Road to the Sun through Glacier National Park. Hey surprise our national parks pass is still good through the end of July so we just flashed our pass and took off like VIP's. There are a few pictures of the trip through the park and Alberta. All beautiful places.

2011 CHURCHILL OR BUST DAY 1 KALISPELL, MONTANA

Here are a few picutures of our first day on the road. All from the bike by Beth, with yellow helmet in the way lots of times.




















Well we are off, good times! Today we did a fairly long day from Puyallup to Kallispell, Montana, 534 Miles. Vantage was interesting with all the wind generators, seems to me there must be some environmental issues with all those suckers sitting out in the prarie. We stopped for gas and junk food and a leg stretch at Vantage, Spokane and along the Clark's Fork. Once we started heading north after Coeur d'Alene, Idaho we started hitting some wonderful scenery while riding north along the Clarks Fork River. Not much rain but some serious bug guts on the windshield and the visor.....yuk!!!





Gotta love the internet. When I checked the status of the "Road to the Sun" in Glacier I discovered it was finally open. It actually opened on Wednesday. So we lucked out! Tomorrow we do the Road to the Sun through Glacier and end up in Medicine Hat, Canada.
