Butte to Boise 'N Back


Apparently AT&T doesn't offer Internet service for my card thru Montana and alot of Idaho - where I have been for much of this week. So here is a qwik catch-up.


After delivering in Havre Sunday afternoon, I deadheaded down to Butte, MT and parked my truck and trailer. Monday morning I rode the bike 430 miles (10 hours!) thru the Bitteroot Mountains down to Boise, ID to visit my uncle. The ride was spectacular. I have pictures and stories to tell but not the time right now. To be continued - promise!


Tuesday we did some sight seeing around town in his car (boooo). I left Wednesday morning because I thought I had a load to get Thursday in Butte and I wanted to ride a different way back up. Long story short - the load did not go. But I found another one that actually pays better.


So I'm back in the truck with the bike loaded by dark Wednesday, after another fantastic ride (thru the Snake River Canyon this time). Unfortunately I had to deadhead another long hike down to Logan, UT to pick up this load - electronic signs - going to Greenville, SC.


So here I am in Kimball, NE enroute to SC. This trip takes me right back thru Belleville again so I will stay there Saturday night.


BTW, the picture posted here was taken in a lava field off US 20 in the Snake River Plain between Boise and Idaho Falls. You normally think 'volcano' when you see lava but not here. This exploded from the ground some 10 million years ago. This is a "must see" if you are anywhere near here.
