Nice, peaceful ride today south to West Yellowstone. Route went through a number of National Parks; Lewis & Brad Clark, Helena, and Gallatin (where Blue Sky is located). Some badlands, but a lot of tree covered mountains. When I think of Montana and Wyoming, a single word comes to mind: space. Everything is big; mountains, valleys, canyons, the sky, the endless flatlands, etc. I keep thinking about people crossing these lands on horseback, covered wagon or walking. Amazing. Also realize what volcanos, ice, mega rivers and no water can do to the earth.
Today was also a riding day, many easy roads, lots of straights to crank it up. Unfortunately, it was in the mid 90s so very hot with my gear on. Kept having to stop to put contact solution in my eyes.
Stopped for late breakfast in the middle of nowhere. Four Harley's parked in lot. Walk in towards only open table. Say to the nearest guy, "I believe I tipped over your bike by mistake". His friend says " don't worry, your bike will be disassembled by the time you finish breakfast". I say "no way, you will need German tools". Guy says "oh don't worry, I have a mini sawzall in my saddle bag".
