Aug 31, 2020 - National Park Ride - Laramia WY to Red Lodge, MT

 BRRRRRR....this morning I woke up and it said 37,,,, but by the time we left is was 45.  LOL  such a big difference.  HA HA.

Forgot to say last night we got up to elevation 7100 feet.   

Ok every one, gear up.



OK all ready , lets roll.

Oops, no cold gear for Jerry.  Hang in the buddy.

Well no corn today.  It was very open and mostly saw fence and power lines.



We saw lots of these like there was a ranch but there was nothing around for miles.  This one had an American flag.  Pretty neat.
One thing Ron forgot to consider were the gas stations between location on the route he set up.  Some of the towns are pretty far apart and motorcycles only carry 5-6 gallons. This small town had only one station and was only 85 octane...
This was Medicine Bow WY ,population 284.



These fences looked like they were randomly put in the middle of the fields and they are all over the place.  Sorry kind of blurry pics.  Ron said these were to help keep the snow drifts from the road.  


Yeah a little more hills.  And no corn....

A little fun.  This is about the only time we had sun all day.  Most of the day was pretty gray.  We had a few drops rain but stayed dry.  Courtney and I had to add another layer.  Courtney was up to 7 layers, I think I had six.  Anything to stay warm.



Saw horses, 
antelope,...




Interesting sign....

These were from between Casper and Thermopolis WY.








Another little mom and pop place.  Pretty good.


Few mule deer in this field.


Coming into Cody WY we had about a 10 minute wait.  Lots of construction on these 2 lane roads.

Worth the wait..... this was beautiful...


We just crossed into Montana.... WHAT....more corn!!
Few white tail deer as we come in to Red Lodge MT.  Our destination for the day.
For those that followed my blog on The Run for the Wall, this look just like Williams.

Saw this guy in a front yard.


Showed this pic to Kelsey and Matt, said if there was no deer crossing sign he was j-walking.
Matt said that was ok, he knew someone that could make one....hahaha


Miles: 422
Temps: 45-60
Destination: Red Lodge MT
Route: SR 30w, county roads 487,220, SR20, county 120, SR308

Tomorrow we go to Yellow Stone and looks like we will have sun!!!!  Yeah!!!
