I forgot to get a photo of my hotel in Red Lodge…a nice old place, but a bit pricy. Â The owner told me Beartooth Pass had had snow Thursday night and they thought it was closed for the season. Â I am glad it wasn’t!
After determining the GPS was leading me 40 miles out of the way, I turned around and hit eight miles of construction…
It is always a nice drive down from Red Lodge.
Sunny skies and clean air!

Eventually I cross the Yellowstone River. Â I crossed it yesterday, too!
A quick breakfast at McD’s, and a long chat with a Goldwing rider/trucker from back East (He has hotrodded his…) and I am off again down the superslab.
A right turn at Big timber and it is 60 or so miles to Harlowton.
The big thing in Harlowton (at least of me) is that it was the end of an electrified division on the Milwaukee (rail)Road.
This was left in Harlowton in 1974 when they switched to diesel locomotives. Â It sits in a nice park now.
You can read about it be clicking on the photo below. Â BACK to return!
I was then off to White Sulphur Springs. Â More of these things were along the way.
Gas and a right turn at White Sulphur Springs and then it is over King’s Hill to Neihart.
Past Neihart is the old mine.
I must be getting near home; this is Belt Creek!
There it is!
The door is open for me, too. Â Even a welcoming party…of one.
And the latest Junior Park Ranger! Â Until Lugnut got it, at any rate.
So I made it home safely! Â Almost 3,000 miles, and I still haven’t seen Crater Lake…next year…
Now to catch up on my blogging!
