Day 301

Wednesday, November 4, 2015

While on our journey through Glacier we saw…wildlife…one…a big horned sheep up above Logan Pass. Where is the sheep, you ask?  There, right near the middle.  He was a long way away. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 300

Wednesday, November 4, 2015

The Dailylife Wife and I took a trip through Glacier National Park to see fall colors and the Dailylife Dad an Step-Mom.  This is a two photo panorama I took on the Dailylife Wife’s Olympus PEN PL-5.  TheWeeping Wall is on the left side.  Logan Pass is off to the right a ways.  More of […]

Day 297

Saturday, October 31, 2015

The full Moon!  No, not this month’s.  Last month’s!  The day before the eclipse.  Up in the Flathead. And this one is wallpaper sized…{!-{> The general scene. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 282: The Last Day!

Saturday, October 31, 2015

I forgot to get a photo of my hotel in Red Lodge…a nice old place, but a bit pricy.  The owner told me Beartooth Pass had had snow Thursday night and they thought it was closed for the season.  I am glad it wasn’t! After determining the GPS was leading me 40 miles out of […]

Day 280: It is all downhill from here…

Monday, October 26, 2015

Now we get back into some really impressive roadbuilding. Just a couple thousand feet down from the top is a nice rest area. Lots of scenic views from here! *** And one of a loop of the road above! This is where the rest area is.  The pink line is the road ahead.  A few years ago […]

Day 279: Over the Pass!

Monday, October 26, 2015

So you’d think it is all downhill from Beartooth Pass, right?  You’d be wrong!  The road winds around quite a bit, up there near 11,000 feet… About all of that snow: my hotelier in Red Lodge told me there was a foot that fell up here on Thursday.  They thought the Pass was closed for […]

Day 278: Up! And Away!

Monday, October 26, 2015

More curves and another lake! A quick look back at the last lake while still going up! More up ahead. The road loops around a bit ahead of me.   Can you see all the switchbacks? This will help!  Motorcycle Heaven! Now there are some curves! Looking back again.  I seem to have gone up […]

Day 277: UP! UP!

Monday, October 26, 2015

(Holy Catfish!  I am three weeks behind!) Once out of Cooke City I start up the Beartooth Highway.  There is a road that goes down this valley, over Stoney Indian Pass and ends up in Cody, WY.  Dad and I did it in the mud and rain back in 1987 when we went to the […]

Day 276: The Rest of Yellowstone!

Sunday, October 18, 2015

On this trip, anyway. Riding North from Canyon Village the first thing I did was ride up Dunraven Pass (8859 feet) into the snow.  This did, however,get me out of the Caldera.  It was about 50 miles by road from one side to the other.  That is one BIG volcano! Coming down the north side of […]

Day 275: On to Canyon Village!

Saturday, October 17, 2015

Soon after leaving the Lake area there was wildlife:  Buffalo (or Bison to the persnickety). These were before reaching the Hayden Valley, which has a lot of open grasslands to see wildlife in.  When there is any.  Which there wasn’t.  Just these. This is the Mud Volcano.  Very interesting.  Very smelly.  And very crowded, despite […]
