I lost one troop who decided to show up at Kaneohe a little messed up... and ready for a fight... he lost to the Marines at the gate.......
The views are great, but after six months I was glade to get back.. still nothing like riding out and being able to cover several states and different sites. Attached; Ran across this place on hwy 12 leaving Montana going to Sturgis..
Ever get down to Red Lodge Mt.... great pass thru heading to Sturgis.... lived 30 minutes out of there for a couple of years and it was always a good time!!
All ways took 90 to 12 at the custer battle field and cut across the reservation.. Saved a lot of time, sort of.. Road construction.. Was hot and still seemed like a long ways between stops.
Best way to go is to cut down to Red Lodge over the pass into Cooke City for a night... then down to Cody WY... and on to Sturgis.
Libby is great for fishing just south of the dam.... catching big rainbows and watching the eagles fish is a great time!!
Great ride over the Yaak Pass as well. Have a yearly ride out of Troy that runs up along the resirvor and over the pass. Theres a lot of good fishing any place up in that country.. Am an old truck driver. Want to get there.. Drives the wife crazy..
