Post #13 - Onward to Missoula

With the bike in great working order, we awoke with excitement to continue heading north.  Busting out of Pocatello at 8am, we rode northwest through the Idaho National Laboratory (Click), which was a bit like White Sands in southern New Mexico, except a bit greener.

After the long ride through the flats, we bent north and started running the amazing valleys on the Salmon River for over 200 miles.  There were 2 or 3 small towns with towering peaks leaning over the valley where Audra and I both said.... "Wow, we could live here."

Eventually we found ourselves at the Montana border and Audra was able to celebrate visiting another state for the first time.

Getting closer to Missoula, the Bitterroot Range was incredible.

A shout out to my colleague, Keriann, and her husband, Alex, who live in Missoula and took us out on the town.  We enjoyed a top brewery and the best pizza in town, but the company was 'tops'.... Thanks Keriann and Alex!!!
