I spent some time this morning repacking my gear and that slowed me down. I didn't get going as fast as I thought I would. That's OK, I'm in no rush
I left Lincoln on highway 200 towards Missoula.
I took highway 12 out of Missoula and headed for Lolo Pass.
It was nice and cool up at the visitors center, but the temps slowly climbed throughout the day.
I didn't stop for very many pictures along highway 12.
Ahhhh... SHADE!!!!
I had originally thought I'd camp in Kamiah, but the weather made me change my mind. I turned left onto 13 and rode to Grangeville. The lowest price room was $71.00, a bit much for my budget. Before I left town I had a late lunch at the Mexican restaurant, Palenque.
I headed south on 95. In Riggins I saw a sign for an affordable room!
I've put 1510 miles on so far.
Tomorrow, I'll be in Baker City, OR to meet 7 other bloggers.

Yay, one more sleep. Glad you were able to find a reasonably priced room. Sure beats the prices we are paying in Enterprise Sat/Sun.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures over the pass look great and I always like seeing the rivers.
See you tomorrow.
I'm gonna try and be on the road by 8:00 this morning. I'll see everybody soon.
DeleteThat last road you came in on looks fantastic on the map. Nice and wiggly. Bet your tyres have copped a hammering on that section.
ReplyDeleteThe whole route from Lolo Pass on the Montana-Idaho border to Riggins, Idaho was pretty good! I think you can zoom in on the map and see up close.
DeleteI did grind off a bit of the tire's sides!!
