Wow what a day! Left Ketchum this morning headed up 75 into the Sawtooth Mountains under incredible bright blue skies with temeratures in the 30's, which isn't bad if you're dressed for it and the sun is on your back. Twenty minutes out of Ketchum rode into a valley with tree covered hills on both sides and very high "sawtooth" snow covered mountains behind the trees. Soon we started climbing toward another mountain pass with the road winding back and forth along the edge of the mountain until finally ending up in another valley on the far side of the sawtooth range.
Soon dropped out of the mountains and the temperature warmed, and we wondered back and forth following a river bank, there were herds of antelope on both sides of the road. At one time about 10 antelope ran across the road about 100 yards in front of us. After lunch found ourselves on the Salmon River Senic Road almost all the way to Missoula where we are stoped for the night.
Take our time in the morning since Bruce and I both have our bikes across the street at the local Harley dealer for tires, should be ready to go about 9:30 or so.

Sounds beautiful! Another place to take the wife back to see. Stay safe!
I see a trend in Mom's posts... :) My guess is it wont be on a bike in 30 degree weather! Not surprised about needing new tires...sounds like some beautiful drives.
Missing the song lyrics lately... I could share the ones Brax and I listen to in the car...Five little monkies jumping on the bed... Or Hayden's...Baby, Baby, Baby, Oh... :)
