Day 1
Well it’s the second weekend in September and our friends Roy & Carolyn have joined up to travel Montana and Wyoming. We plan on riding up and across the North East corner of Yellowstone Park and then the Beartooth Pass.
Here we are getting ready in their garage. We delayed our departure as much as we could as the temperature was only 3 degrees at 07:00. Now at 09:15 it’s up to 7 degrees.
I brought along my Extra set of Sena headsets so we could communicate between bikes and the couples individually. After we install intercoms in Roy and Caroline’s helmets we are off.
It looks like Roy’s open face helmet has too much wind noise when using the intercom, so we only talk to him when at low speeds.
We made a quick stop in Fort McLeod for Timmy’s and we make the border by 13:00.
Roy has a bit of a problem crossing due to a replacement passport so we ride ahead to the pullout just south of the customs station.
Here’s a photo of TJ’s forefathers.
It didn’t take long before our friends ride up and pose for a quick photo. Our next stop will be in Babb Mt along Hwy 89 for some fuel. 
The weather is really nice and the temperature gets to 72f by midday. We had a great ride down hwy 89 and arrive in a Great Falls at 16:30. Everyone is hungry so we head over to the Montana Club restaurant. Roy had the most unusual meal of us all. He had a deep-fried pork chop sandwich. He really liked it. Sorry I forgot to get a photo.
We decide over dinner that we won’t make Livingston before dark and no one wants to dodge Deer so we elect to stay in a Great Falls at the Great Falls Inn. We stay here almost every time we travel through. They offer a great room at a great rate. Today $70.00. Yahoo I love living in the FOG.
As we rode along I asked TJ if she could get a photo of Roy & Carolyn and this is what developed
Here TJ and Roy discuss the days events while Caroline and I check in.
After we check in the others go for a walk while I write-up today’s activities while watching Guy Fieri from Dinners Drive Inns and Dives. I’m pretty much convinced people will eat just about anything.
We plan on riding the Beartooth Pass tomorrow and as it will take us at least six hours to get there from here the temperature should be at least 11 degrees when we cross the top. I’m definitely wearing long johns and multiple layers of shirts and fleece.
