Another Day in Cody, WY

Our lunch spot in Red Lodge, MT

We seem to be having some technical difficulties, or just plain operator error. The photos do not seem to be loading, so there are only 3 today.

First of all you will notice there are no photos of Margaret. She remained in town while the rest of us went riding. She shopped, had a manicure and a massage, and met the locals. The people are so friendly here. She was chatting with a woman and they ended up going for a drive to the local nail salon together! She had plenty of stories and a few purchases. Oh, and her nails look lovely.

We had a delicious breakfast at the Robin's Nest and then met up for the ride. Can I say that the whole AIS is out of control. Not only have we not set a time, we are just meandering to the start position. We did have a prayer before we headed to the mountains.

The sky was clear and the temperature was much warmer than it has been. We rode part of the Chief Joseph and Beartooth Mountain Byways. These are must rides for any motorcycle enthusiast. There are S curves and plenty of twisties for miles. Scott had a grin on his face the entire time....as did everyone.

The pass went up to 11,000 feet and we found out it had snowed the day before. We had plenty of sunshine, but it did get a bit chilly. There was a little road construction but we managed just fine.

We ended up having lunch in Red Lodge, MT which is a really cute town with plenty of nice shops. We did end up buying stuff at the local Harley Davidson dealer. Tom continues to be a good sport about the HD things since he rides a BMW.

We returned before 4 and Margaret had cheese and crackers for us. She served this in a very Margaret way...she used a tiered tray from the B&B! Dave furnished the wine. This town had a very good selection of wines and they are at a very reasonable price. We had a good Silver Oak Cabernet for $25.

Our dinner was the best value so far, which pleased everyone. Then we took in the Dan Miller show. Everything is in walking distance. And we didn't run home in the pouring rain...like we did last night.
