Over Lolo Pass and into Big Sky Country

Yesterday was a very long day of riding on U.S. Highway 12 along a few beautiful rivers into Montana (aka Big Sky Country).  Thankfully no deer or moose decided to cross in front while en route. There is plenty of snow up on the mountains around Missoula but the temperatures in the day are very warm.  Two favorite signs I saw "Antlers Galore" where you could buy any kind of antler and "Biscuit Ridge Lane" in Dixie, Washington.
