Day 51: From Montana into Wyoming On this long, wash-boarded and deep-sanded road we came upon a Dodge Ram sitting on the side of the road with a flat. We slowed to see if they needed any help. On top of not knowing how to change the flat they were lost. We consulted the GPS and determined that...

Day 51: From Montana into Wyoming The descent began slowly but steadily became steeper and the road fainter. The GPS displayed many roads converging and leaving the one we were on but there were only hints of where the roads once were. We knew we were coming up on private property...

Day 51: From Montana into Wyoming The road continued to worsen and fade. Our doubt that it would go through to our next 'main' road steadily increased. But the views were worth it - as was the deeply rutted yet inviting road. And soon we tried our hand at herding cattle...

Day 51: From Montana into Wyoming Our 51st day broke clear and cold. The night had been one of the coldest and a slight storm had rolled through that dropped the temperature considerably. We ate breakfast pretty well bundled up for being midsummer and waited for the sun to break through the...

No, not quite but getting very close. Hilarious. I thought about searching for him on ADV but didn't think the chances were high of any success. Thanks for the quote. I'm blocked at work but will check it out later. Thanks for the advice. I've tried driving circles in the parking lot...

No, no build-page. There are plenty of them out there for cruisers and most of my mods can be seen from the pictures and from the telling the story. There is a brief description of mods to the truck in the first or second post. It does have factory lockers though during the trip the rear was not...

Day 50: Sheep Mountain to Montana There was a great sunset going on the open grazing land around us inspired me to take a few photos of the sunset. I was hoping to spot some wildlife but kids are pretty good deterrent. My youngest was not falling asleep and was fussy so I wrapped her up in...

Day 50: Sheep Mountain to Montana We camped in copse of pines just down the hill from the curve in this photo. These are all views of from the campsite. Looking down towards Red Rocks Wildlife Refuge and Targhee National Forest.

Yes, I keep saying that I'd like to do a shorter trip and loop through Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. It might have to be a dual sport moto trip though if I want to do it any time soon. I am disappointed I didn't get to see the top of the Steens. Hard to believe it's that similar (green) when...

Cool! Yeah, that's a pretty area there by the Ozark Highlands Trail. Glad you could use the route. Take any pictures?

Cool pictures. I'm really enjoying the quick-recap-of-the-year-in-photos idea. Is that the lone chimney at the 'Cheese Factory' site on the AT?

Day 50: Sheep Mountain to Montana

Day 50: Sheep Mountain to Montana I believe that was Black Butte poking it's head above the horizon. And this road just kept going on and on. I remember thinking that it had to stop somewhere, that this beauty couldn't remain constant. But I was wrong. In the winter I think...

Day 50: Sheep Mountain to Montana I'll let the photos do the talking for this part.

Day 50: Sheep Mountain to Montana On top of this next range of mountains (well known to the ADVrider crew) there are some 60 miles of great gravel roads. There is nothing technical to this section but it is fun to drive and the views are tremendous. I couldn't stop taking photos, though...

Day 50: Sheep Mountain to Montana And then we were climbing back up into a new range of mountains. You can just make out the road we climbed - a ribbon of white among the green far below in the valley. Amazing country.

Day 50: Sheep Mountain to Montana Leaving Dillon we headed east along Sweetwater Creek. There were great open views and then we hit the creek where there were lots of large ranches green from irrigation. It's amazing what a little water can do.

Day 50: Sheep Mountain to Montana Views from the top of Bannock Pass. And then into Montana. We took a pretty circuitous route into Dillon, Montana where we shopped for groceries, filled water and shopped at the local Patagonia outlet store. The wife scored a $5 bathing...

Day 50: Sheep Mountain to Montana Yeah... so, no gas. Rested, mailed a (late/oops) check to the IRS and gassed up in Leadore, Id. The gas station/general store is for sale! And then up Bannock Pass, the top being the border of Idaho and Montana. The grader made things...

Day 50: Sheep Mountain to Montana Down Doublesprings Road. On the Benchmark there is a town marked near here called Hahn. I thought that just maybe we could refuel there. Don't make that mistake. It's a ghost town. Views back up the mountain... and views down the mountain...
