Aug 23-24 Minneapolis to Bismarck North Dakota to Billings Montana

We are pretty much just driving every day to make our way home as quickly as possible so no time spent exploring.  Minneapolis to Bismarck ND wasn’t a very exciting drive either but we saw some nicer scenery the more west we go.  We saw a buffalo in western North Dakota: Wild horses in Eastern Montana.
Campsite in Bismarck was quite nice

Sorry about the dirty windshield shot...seeing hills!

August 10 - off to New Brunswick

Image
We packed up the motorcycle into the trailer.  Probably won’t be riding anymore the rest of our trip.  Kevan gave it a good clean to wash the salt air residue off.  We’ve put on just over 5000km on the bike this trip and over 10000km on the truck already. We drove out of Cape Breton and headed to Moncton New Brunswick.  We had seen an ad on tv that there was a casino in Moncton that offered free RV parking overnight and we thought that could be a fun overnight spot.  The weather in Nova Scotia was beautiful.  As we got closer to Moncton we could see a thunderstorm brewing.  Torrential rain mixed with large hail followed.  People pulled off the highway and waited out the storm.  We stopped briefly but then carried on.  It was over almost as quickly as it started.  We knew something was up in Moncton when we got off the highway and tried turning into the casino.  A bit of a traffic nightmare and many people walking with cam...

August 7 - Gander

Image
After we got off the ferry yesterday from St. Pierre we had a short ride to Marystown and spent the night at a B&B.  Got started relatively early this morning and headed to Gander.  We rode to Goobies again and had a short break there.  We then carried on to Gander.  We got into town early afternoon.  There’s not much to do in Gander so we had a relaxing rest of our afternoon & evening. Interesting factoids in the restaurant at Goobies This is the only moose we’ve seenšŸ˜Š. Counting our blessings  The road to Gander A glimpse of Gander Lake

August 25-Coeur d’Alene

Image
My chauffeur is turning into a hard core driving machine and making good time!  Gotta love those new tiresšŸ˜Š. We stayed 45 minutes west of Billings Montana last night and decided we’d make a stab at getting to Idaho today.  We traveled through Bozeman, Butte and through beautiful Lolo National Park.  We were north of Lolo Pass, a favourite motorcycle ride for us we’ve done a few times with friends.  I was kinda sad we didn’t have time to unload the bike & ride it again.  Probably wouldn’t have been as much fun without Dave & Lori and Vic & Kristin anyways.  Next time!  We made it to Coeur d’Alene and had a nice evening there.  So many great things to do here to as we’ve stayed here a few times but home is calling.  Only one more state to go! Again this site drives me crazy with how it uploads pictures out of order.  This was the view coming into Coeur d’Alene  We had dinner at the floating restaurant  ...
