So here we go again . I wake up, pack up and ride off in the rain and cold fog along the banks of Flathead Lake only 40 miles from Glacier National Park but I see very little at first. As the day progresses I ride up a 12,000 ft pass past a beautiful ski area into Idaho and the weather is clearing, still cold but clearing! Heading down Hwy 93 along the Salmon River (of Lewis and Clark Fame) brings me to Twin Falls Idaho and out onto the high desert of northern Nevada. Call it a halt in Wells NV( you guessed it another Motel 6) and crash. Upload my pictures, call my Bea and drift off to sleep.
Wednesday dawns cool and clear as I leave Wells still on Hwy 93 at almost 7000 ft and freezing temperatures. I ride for 200 miles before a stop for coffee and a roll. Call mom and make a dinner date with her and for the first time since Haines Alaska I do not need my "Arctic Gear" What a joy to shed all of it!
And on I go past Las Vegas into California past Victorville Corona through heavy traffic I arrive safely at Home at 5 PM. Being greeted enthusiastically be my Bea and little Miss Heidi.
The ride is over.....all I have now is memories of a great adventure....a dirty bike and a wonderful and loving home!
I am Blessed!
