The wet cold weather finally gave up for a gorgeous sunny summer day for us on Sunday! Geri and I took Highway 12 west through the Lolo canyon, past the Hot Springs and up over Lolo Pass. We got part way down the other side and stopped for breakfast at the famous Lochsa Lodge. There were several motorcycles there already, some visiting for a meal and others from overnight campers. The lodge owners themselves are motorcycle enthusiasts of the Harley persuasion. The weather was still a little cool coming up the pass but was warming quickly. Geri and I then proceeded further west down the mountain and along the Lochsa River. We saw an abundance of river rafters and kayakers, as well as a lot of other motorcycle riders. The rafters were also in large groups on guided trips doen the Lochsa white water. At one place we pulled off to view and photograph several coming through a famous rapid (don't have the name of this one yet). Several people were perched in the rocks above the rapid. It was fun watching some get through it OK and other not so lucky....
The highway was a lot of fun to ride and winds down from the Lolo Pass summit all the way down to Lowell, Idaho, and maybe beyond but that is where we turned around and headed back.
