Another travel day! Back-to-backs are not a lot of fun, but we have a method now – don’t set up completely. Makes take-down so much faster.
First thing, it’s sprinkling outside, after raining all night. Looks bad out there, but it really isn’t, so take-down is a piece of cake. Get out of the park at 9:04, just in time to hit the bike shop. We get there and they take The Bear’s wheel in right away. Fitzgerald’s Bicycles – great folks, great place! They also have an in-house coffee bar, so we get some java and look around while they get her fixed up.
By 9:43, we’re back on the road! Raining off and on now, but again, the roads are not slick, so we can make good time, but here’s what it looked like outside – this is where the “Amber waves of grain” line comes from:
Yes, it’s crooked – hard to take great photos when you mainly have to drive the rig. Anyway, a bit later the rain really came down, and it was like this:
Fun times!
We kinda have to go through West Yellowstone, so, what to do? Well, we’ll be stopping by the Slippery Otter to have a pizza for lunch, of course! We need to see if it’s still the best pizza we’ve ever had. It is:
That’s two thirds of the Supreme. Won’t last much longer. To drink, The Bear had a Pigs Ass Porter, which was pretty good, though a wee bit light for what I wanted, so I had the Black Ghost Oatmeal Stout. Not Guinness, but pretty good:
Here’s their logo inside the pub:
After lunch, less than 100 miles to Bozeman, and actually, we’re just outside Bozeman, on the way in, so we really only have like 85 miles to go. Cloudy mountains:
And other beautiful scenery:
Yeah, still wet, but it looks to be drying out. We’re going back to a KoA we stayed in last year – a bit of trepidation, because last year they were adding on, and rebuilding all kinds of stuff. The Bear looked online, and a lot of folks are still complaining. We shall see!
