Earache Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Headed north in just about 7 hours to visit Montana and Wyoming again. Hope to get some abandoned buildings pics (gonna be hard to match @Pedro 's latest though!). Spent the past day getting new tires thrown on the scooter so I'm ready to go at first light. On to Buffalo, Wyoming tomorrow. Will be riding solo for the first 1,400 miles so I should be able to make really good time. More pics as they come in.... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 Got up early and hoped to get a jump on things, but it was 39F/ 4C when I wanted to go. I decided to wait a bit for it to warm up before setting off. Waited until 6 AM and it got up to 48F / 9C so off we go! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 Little over an hour later and I hit the first fuel stop. Where, you ask? None other than my fave; Kum and Go ! Temp was down to 44F..... 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 After fuel, I rail up Route 125, passing the burn scar from last year's fires again. Loads of silt has washed down the hills, leaving huge deposits next to the roads 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 Always liked this geologic feature next to the road. Looked better with trees around it tho.... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 Crossing into Wyoming, the weather went to shit. Strong winds, temperature dropped back into the 40's and rain. Perfect.... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 Saw my first abandoned house, but I was trying to outrun the cold front and rain so I shot a pic on the fly... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 Into Wyoming. Most US states have a big welcome sign as you enter the state. Not Wyoming; tiny little sign that looks like a road sign. Nice one Wyoming. (It was really dark at this point so my flash kinda ruined the pic) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup - until my bud Todd meets up with me somewhere in Montana. Dunno when that'll be, hopefully by Saturday.

Earache Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 Another hundred miles up the road and I passed the Virginian Hotel; built in 1901 at a train stop. The train no longer stops but the hotel is still open... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
