Do it!!!
I drove 2,500 miles and every mile was like drinking nectar ............ that's sounds a bit wanky but you'll know what I mean
Still much more to see there as well!
I remember sitting having a beer with him on Sakhalin Island and we were talking about Montana, I asked endless questions and to one about wee beasties he replied they did had some mozzies in the summer. I said thank fuck and when he asked why I said it was because everything else sounded perfect, there had to be even just one small flaw.
It looks fabulous!
I feel the need to go there...

Is that a buffalo or a bison?
I've never worked out how to tell the difference...

You can take a piss in a bison.
The only reason this road is so big is for the tourist traffic in summer oh and then it narrows down a bit and continues a short way up to the Canadian border
Lucky for us the whole area is both at it's best and more importantly, virtually empty
No traffic in a place that just cannot feel the same when it's full of tourists
I can still picture that can of Bear Spray in the outdoors shop where I got the gas for my Jet Boil
At the top of the pass I go for a walk alone with 'them' never far away in my mind

Polebridge....Polebridge.....? Ahh yes, Home Ranch Bottoms. We spent an interesting afternoon here in 2007 having driven up the dirt road in the rental Nissan Murano.
I borrowed the house guitar and sang Merle Haggard's "I am a Lonesome Fugitive" much to the delight of a guy who watched intently and said it was his father's favourite song.

Looks fabulous, Tim.
It’s been on my to do list for some time , being a regular visitor to Seattle and Portland., and flying over some of the stunning scenery.
Might do do something similar in the next year or two with late Sept/early Oct looking a great time to go.

Blean Woods in Kent now have European bison roaming. No bears, as far as I know. Thankfully.
Daughter #2 and her husband were on a western US road trip a few years back. They went running one morning and came across a bear on the track. They turned around and ran...

Time to make another brew
And take a walk
I hear a rustling sound, what's that?
Feckity, feck, feckity feck, feck
Always one to get the photo.....
Feck, feck I get back to the car to be greeted by Ange pissing herself laughing...very fecking funny!!
A few miles south of the Canadian border we turn away from the mountains as I like the look of this road, Duck Lake road.
Imagine this at sunset as we're looking West
I see dead coyotes by the roadside as we head back for the night.
Tomorrow we're going to move away from the mountains and have a look why it's the Big Sky state

Well in my paranoid research I find that's the worst thing to do but the most instinctive
Proper SE territory that is
Oh yes, just wait till you see more of the gravel roads
But saying that and it's something we did talk about a lot, I think I saw and did more on this trip by not being on a bike.

Makes sense, and that's with x 2 out of the comfort zone...travelling by car and ditching smokes
I feel that too these days, plus you get to talk about the experiences 'real time' instead of at the end of each day.
When talking about a road trip I remember you saying many years ago, "in a car it's like watching a film, on a bike it's like being in the film", or something like that.... I guess we all start to view things differently as we mellow...

No, I wrote for this trip not in general.
Ye will cut yersenBut you can't wash your hands in a buffalo
