Montana

I began the day with a great breakfast at the KOA camping kitchen. The young lady made a plate size wheat pancake that filled me up. I was able to get some laundry done and get the Wanderer into the wind by 11:00AM.


I had to travel only a little over 200 miles to the KOA in Harding so I took my time. As I began along state road 87 towards Billings Mt. I recognized the road as the same one I took in 2006. I stopped at Eddies Corner where I met a member of the Patriot Guard who bike broke down with a bad battery.

The Honda dealer in Lewiston Mt assisted him and as we were talking I asked if there were a location at his shop where I could hand wash my bike. (She was looking filthy) John the employee for the business suggested I go into town an ask the manager Phyllis at the Honda Dealership
I met Phyllis who allowed me to wash the Wanderer in the bay they used to wash customers dirt bikes and all terrain vehicles. After about an hour of scrubbing and using their power washer, I removed at least two pounds of mud and debris from the rear axle and clean the bike to a glorious shine, including the trailer. The trailer hitch stand was filed with at least another half pound of debris.
After a good washing and checking out the systems, I continued on toward Harding MT. I took some photos of the landscape and scenic views and sent a photo to a friend of mine who is from Montana.

I arrived at the KOA campgrounds just before 7:00PM and I relaxed after turing on the air conditioner in the cabin.
I have the next couple of day filled with visiting some National Parks with mileages less than 350 miles.
