Honeymoon B.C,/Alberta/Glacier















































































Stacie and I decided to do our honeymoon prior to the wedding . Backwards ,but I had vacation approved so it was convenient if nothing else. We left St. Helens after I got off work which is good since I don't sleep well prior to an adventure.The bikes are loaded and final checks are in order. Ready , Set , Go!
We traveled down Hiway 14 on the Washington
side , tried to camp in Maryhill but Jackson
Browne was in concert and we had to go north a bit.
Our site was right below high voltage lines and you could hear them buzz,snap,crackle,pop.
I finally began taking photos in eastern Wa at the Garfield County Courthouse.
Signs and posters read " save our courthouse"
We camped our second night just South of Missoula .The sunset was pretty and we were tired from the day of riding,
On Monday we rode into Glacier Park, Mt. The day ride was a short one from Missoula and the views breathtaking.
We hiked up to Paradise on Logan pass , we saw sheep, and again the views were unbelievable.You find it hard to describe and there aren't enough adjectives to describe it all.
We crossed the border without incident , Did have a discussion with a State Trooper about parking the bikes in middle of highway to take pictures of a Bald Eagle. " Yes sir I was stupid and it won't happen again( fingers crossed)
Waterton, what can you say about that little town , " A HIDDEN GEM" 3rd time I have been there and a record 9-10 bear sightings , along with the countless deer . They just hang out , it's like hey this is OUR HOME! The Bison Paddock was drive through just North of town .
