Rode I-90 to Gillette, then US 14 to Sheridan, up I-90 to Ranchester WY, then over the Bighorns to Lovell WY on US 14a stopping at Burgess Jct for Pie. It was scorching within the valleys, mid-90s, however cool at elevation.

Stopped on the Satan’s Canyon Overlook as a result of I might by no means been there.

After Lovell, we headed to Cody then North to the Chief Joseph Pkwy, over the Beartooth, and down into Pink Lodge arriving simply earlier than 5:00 pm. It was raining the final 15 miles of the Chief Joseph and all through many of the Beartooth however not too unhealthy. We had been glad we stopped and placed on a little bit rain gear alongside the way in which.

We walked to the Pink Lodge Brewers and loved a number of beers and BBQ sandwiches.

As we speak (Tuesday) was a type of “Good Motorcycling Days”!

Scott and I had been first in line for Breakfast on the Alpine Inn – Pink Lodge MT.

Larry, the proprietor (within the pink shirt) was behind the grill and whipped up a few wonderful Breakfast Burritos, his signature dish.

Scott and I had been on the highway at 6:45 – we needed to “beat the visitors” going over the Beartooth and down the Chief Joseph. I’m happy to report that we did simply that. It was a cool 67f once we left Pink Lodge, we noticed a low of 47f on the highest of Beartooth, we selected to not interrupt the “Move of the Journey” by stopping for photos. We overtook and handed 4 vehicles and one pickup between Pink Lodge and the turn-off to the Chief Joseph Parkway. This was undoubtedly my most “unimpeded Beartooth passage ever” and we made essentially the most of it. It’s all the time a pleasure to journey a highway on the velocity restrict and have the curves be difficult.

The journey down/over Chief Joseph/Lifeless Indian Go was solely barely extra trafficked. We handed one group of bikes and a Spyder simply after the lone Development zone and needed to cope with half-a-dozen different vehicles plus one herd of cows on/within the highway. The Grey Ghost’s ABS does work!

We fueled in Cody after which hightailed it for a date with an Icecream Cone at Soiled Sallys Basic Retailer – Ten Sleep WY.

I had Espresso Fudge and Scott had Pecan or some such delectable deal with.

After refueling our our bodies we screwed round for ten minutes making an attempt to restore our comms unsuccessfully, that they had labored completely up till this level. It seems that totally different Bluetooth priorities had been preventing one another.

The run over US 16 – “The Cloud Peak Skyway” was good as nicely. We needed to dispatch just a few motor properties earlier than we hit the great things in Ten Sleep Canyon, then a pleasant run throughout to only previous Loopy Lady Canyon once we hit building. However – we had been first in line behind the Pilot Automobile and after a ten-minute wait, we had a fantastic run all the way in which to Buffalo, catching the earlier group of visitors simply as we entered city.

We gassed up in Buffalo and took US 16 to Gillette, it provides about half-hour however I-90 is simply so boring throughout that stretch of WY.

We stopped at Noticed Horse WY (simply East of West Bumphuck) for a cool drink and reduction from the 96f warmth.

Good AC, chilly pop, and lots of crap on the partitions –

The remainder of the journey was simply “hammer down” to get out of the warmth –
