Today was a transit day relocating from southern Montana to the north. Hwy78 out of Red Lodge turned out to be a good choice, lots of turns that opened up with a view of the road stretching out through the valley. It was great right up until the 9 miles of construction with the road torn down to ruts and gravel. It seems in Montana that they don't do road construction is small chunks, they just go ahead and rip up the entire thing. That's ok, got to use quattro a bit getting through some of the deeper mud and gravel. From Columbus we cruised down 90 to Hwy287 to take a short cut up to 15. 15 follows the Missouri river and has some fun sections twisting along the river and through the valleys. We rolled into Great Falls early afternoon and found a coin-up car wash place. $4 later the TT is clean again and the weather forecast looks clear for at least a few days so it will hopefully stay clean. Tomorrow we're off to Glacier.
