Back to Montana
Day 19: Friday, July 15, 2005

Rick and Vicki camped down by the river and joined us for breakfast and saw us off as we left for Missoula and took our photo

This is the first day we have had someone to get a photo as we start the days ride

it looks downhill—but it is not

Steve catching us again







this looks over to the area mentioned on the info sign


we are getting there

Rick and Vicki passed us on their way up to the rest area

another celebration

and more visiting

our first time ever to enter Montana
just as we leave the rest area at the summit of Lolo Pass

another traveler westbound


lots of rocky outcroppings along the route




Lolo Peak way up there with some snow showing
We learned while in Missoula that a ski resort is in the planning for Lolo Peak area


That is Lolo Peak again

the old swimming hole
looked inviting as it was approaching 97 degrees

now our rest day begins

Hu Hot
Mongolian Grill
Rick and Vicki joined us for dinner before heading back to Lochsa Lodge for another night of camping
The food was wonderful

and the dessert speaks for itself!
