• Gem of a Ride HOG Touring Rally Day 4

    June 19, 2022 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 46 °F

    Missoula to Butte, the long way: US93 south to MT43 east, then Route 278 to Dillon (where Dano went to college), and finally Routes 41 and 2 into Butte.

    Worse weather today, but we still enjoyed parts of it, including our lunch stop in Wisdom and our visit to Big Hole National Battlefield.

    We were in mostly misty rain the majority of the day, but as we came through the pass on Route 2 just south of Butte, we hit a heavy down pour with, yes, pea-sized hail. That sucked.

    Dano's brother Charlie met up with us at the dealership, so they and Rob left early for dinner with him. The rest of us had a great meal and my roommate Gina and I are now in our room, dry and warm and about to crash. Good day.

    So long [for now], and thanks for all the fish! ✌️
