Running from the Storm

Sep. 26, 2019

More from Canada later. 

We spent a week in Canada and had fun with our friends but checking the weather we saw a snow storm coming.  It was time to head back to the states.  We planed to take 3 days to get back to Eureka MT to pick up our stuff but we cut it down to 2.  After packing up and saying our last good-byes we were on the road heading south. We had to travel hard with the storm nipping at our heels. Here's some pictures from the trek.

Crossing the border at Midway BC.



Driving through fire damage in northeastern Washington.




Our goal was eastern Colorado (blue arrows) where the extended forecast called for low 70's.

Driving the Wildlife Canyon Scenic Byway along lake Pend Oreille, Idaho.







Someware in northern Idaho.









We took a few minutes to walk down to Kootenai Falls on Hwy 37 in Montana.  Definitely worth a return visit.

After leaving Eureka,  we saw a fire south of I-90 and smoak obscuring the mountains to the north. 




Majestic peeks, wish we had a better view.

After a short day leaving Eureka and spending the night at a Wal-Mart in Missoula MT.  We got an early start (7am) for the next leg of the race with the storm. 








Mountains near Butte MT already have a little snow.












Stop for lunch and fuel in Bozeman MT.


The day ends with gray skies.


After a long hard driving day we finally stopped for the night at Wal-Mart in Sheridan Wyoming.  Tomorrow should be an easier day to Wheatland Wyoming and hopefully a few days to relax.
