Beartooth to Billings - On to Missoula

Log Entry #7
Started the morning at Erma Hotel in downtown Cody.
Buffalo Bills daughters place that has been in business since 1902.
The locals eat here so the food and service has to be good!
Hot lapped Dead Indian Pass to get up to the famous "Beartooth".
The conditions were cold and windy but the views we're still awesome!
Had lunch in Red Lodge and when I walked out of the place I was greeted with a full on hail storm.
Had to ride 60 miles to Billings in a cold rainstorm.
Sure glad I was wearing the Gortex! 
Billings was another audible call I made because Option A was Cody that would have been twice the distance through more mountain terrain in the dark.
Next morning I rode from Billings to Missoula in Cold Drizzle.
The weather got nice just as I headed into Missoula.
Great place for a meal in Cody Wyoming!
The entire Bar Case Work at the Erma restaurant was fabricated in France and was a gift to Buffalo Bill from Queen Victoria. 
Were have all the Buffalo gone...
Maybe Winchester and Sharps had something to do with it!
Beer makes everything better!
This little gas station/gift shop is called the "Top of the World" but it's half the way up the Beartooth?
Lot of shivering bikers headed back from South Dakota.
Sure do like the heated grips and seat on the Beemer!
Can you see the road at the bottom of the canyon?
Fisher Gatherer! The Trout was good in Billings.
Ran into Rhys from Pleasanton on his way to visit family in Kansas.
Pretty random encounter!
Nice water boxer!
Rhys is another happy Cal Moto East Bay shopper!
Basic road side dinning for a while!
The party is over and time to turn some miles. 
Can I talk to you about your ride?
Would you take 10 - 100 bills right now for that Bad Boy?
Skullmetheus! Located between Drummond and Clinton MT.
