Friday, June 11 - Day Negative 2

It is a good thing we were inside a nice warm cabin last night. Yesterday the cabin looked like this:



This morning the cabin looked like this:



Other than that, another uneventful travel day. Our destination today was Missoula, Montana. Everything went as planned. Just one thought kept going through my mind when I saw these mountains off in the distance. This was seen off of today's drive, but will be part of our "ride". Let's see if you can guess what I am thinking after seeing this:


If you guessed "how am I going to get my bike over those", you are right.

Just a couple other thoughts before I sign off. First, yesterday on the "Wild Life Loop", my wife alerted us to something she saw off the side of the road. We were informed that the wild life in question was, and I quote, "either a turkey or a deer". If you wish, "google" images of both of these species. Was I off base by laughing at my wife? You be the judge. Secondly, I was kidding about the snow at the cabin. That was a picture on the wall inside the cabin. Sorry if I wasted any of your time with that one. Until tomorrow in Portland, Oregon....
