Left Red Lodge this morning headed south to go over Bear Tooth Pass again, we did this last year also. Charles Kuralt called this the most scenic drive in America. I'm not sure he made it to all the places we have in the last eight years but it is certainly beautiful.
Shortly after the summit you enter Wyoming and that is where we found the weather waiting for us. Suited up in rain gear to face sleet, snow, and rain on a two lane narrow road often devoid of guardrails, what a rush.
Turned off on the Chief Joseph Highway a 46 mile route that follows the route the chief took attempting to escape to Canada.
Chief Joseph:
Perhaps you think the Creator sent you here to dispose of us as you see fit. If I thought you were sent by the Creator, I might be induced to think you had a right to dispose of me. Do not misunderstand me, but understand fully with reference to my affection for the land. I never said the land was mine to do with as I choose. The one who has a right to dispose of it is the one who has created it. I claim a right to live on my land and accord you the privilege to return to yours.
As we headed east for Casper JB had a flat and thanks to AAA the bike will be back on the road Thursday morning. We will be headed south towards Colorado under hopefully clear skies.

You shared some words of wisdom from Chief Joseph. Will you be returning to your land soon?
Glad you safely traveled the Wyoming weather. I believe the Creator was watching over all of you! Get ready for 110 degrees. xoxo
