From Montana to Washington

Today was an awesome day of riding. We had fun, stunning scenery, and made good time. Leaving Kalispell was bittersweet. We were getting onto roads we have never been on before. That was the good part. This was the first time we have been in Kalispell and didn't go into Glacier Nat. Park. It is always sad leaving there, as the company is even better than the spectacular scenery in that area. That is the sad part. We traveled along the Clarks Fork river, and I highly recommend it. From there we traveled on I-90 to Spokane, with a stop at Cruisers bar. It was a neat spot with good food, but not a place I would hang out regularly.

We signed the VROC fence, and took a picture for posterity, and those who won't be able to make it.

Here Melanie and Purple500 are getting ready to go through Spokane, and then into better scenery. Idaho was very pretty, but it was on interstate, so it wasn't alot of fun.

This is the top of the Grand Coulee dam. We had never been there, and it was hot, mid 90 F temperatures. We needed a break, and the visitor center was air conditioned, so it provided a nice break.

This is the bottom of the dam. Again, pictures don't do the size justice, but it is big.

Here the bikes are put away for the night in Omak Washington. It was a nice 387 mile day, it was hot, on the windy side, but it was a beautiful days ride.
