The Big Trip 2016 - Days 5 thru 10

From Billings we headed to Red Lodge for the night, then onto Beartooth Pass and finally to Cody, WY to meet up with the final two pieces of the puzzle.





At the 12,000 foot altitude, the air was thin, John who was severly lightheaded and gasping for air, finally broke down and proposed to Robin.










Smurph and "Lucky" met us in Cody.



Jackson Hole, WY
Silverton, CO
Stuck in traffic......
To get traffic moving we sacrificed a small watermelon.....

Made it!

The Big Trip 2016 - Days 1 thru 4

The "plan" was to meet the Connecticut Crew in Billings, Montana. We took a pretty nice 3 day ride from Tucson, AZ to Billings.  We rode out on August 20th,  headed north thru Phoenix into Sedona,  across Lake Powell into Utah and spent the night in Kanab. Sure beats going thru CT,  New York and Ohio. Some sweet pics below.




Day 2 we took a detour into Bryce Canyon, all I can say is ....spectacular!!










 After Bryce we took the Scenic route up RT89 and headed into Salt Lake City for a night, then Idaho and into Montana.





Checked into the Dude Rancher Lodge, and our friends from CT arrived about an hour later.
The Dude Rancher Lodge has a documented history of being haunted by ghosts. Mark actually had a close encounter with some of those famous ghosts.

Day #4 - We picked up some more of the CT crew at the Billings Airport and all was right in the world again. (but still two missing)
