Day 24 - July 23 - H to Osoyoos; G & B to Yellowstone





In the morning I headed off on secondary highway 200 - absolutely beautiful road which starts out west of Great Falls pretty flat, but then rises into hills, and takes on a wonderful twisty, up and down, that was great fun. Leads to Lincoln Montana, and eventually on to Missoula.

From Missoula one heads quickly into the Idaho "panhandle" and Cour d'Alene and, seemingly, before long, to Spokane. From Spokane I headed northwest towards Omak, via the Grand Coulee Dam, and-eventually - north through the Roosville crossing to Osoyoos, because I'd learned that brother-in-law and sister-in-law Bill and Donna, and Kaylen, Liam (and Amanda), and Cameron (and a friend, Dylan) were in Osoyoos with Dave & Shirley, Jo-Ann's folks.

After 890 kms, I managed to arrive just as dinner was being served - great timing! A great visit. Great hospitality from Bill & Donna. Just 400 kms left to get home tomorrow.

Heard from Bob that he and George had reached the eastern gate of Yellowstone Park (mostly in Wyoming, but covering portions of Washington and Idaho as well). Bob described the ride as maybe his best ever.

Wanted to thank you Hugh for sharing your journey, I don't know what I'll do for daily entertainment now. Congratulations to all the Knights. Lissa, Cochrane AB
