 Day two of the trip home was going by Devils Tower. This was on my list to see! Not researching or knowing anything more than it looked cool, it didn't disappoint either! We even saw rock climbers! At Devils Tower, there was another boulder field which Zak and I climbed on with air this time. Somewhere during this excursion, I managed to hurt my back. I believe it was from carrying the camera and camera bag. As irritated as I am over it, I'm glad it waited until the trip home! From here we left the park and the phone service messed up and I turned left at a light and quickly went I don't think this is the right place. I pulled over in a driveway and we pulled out the map. Locating ourselves and figuring out where we needed to be I put it in gear checked my mirrors and noticed Highway Patrol getting out of his car. I rolled down the window to him saying we don't allow parking here, it is clearly marked. I looked up and see a sign on the side of the road. To which I repl...

 This trip was wonderful and we lucked out by getting to take the convertible but were looking forward to stretching our legs. We had been limiting our purchases, due to space constraints, and had already planned on riding the rest of the way home, interstate, with the top up. This would allow for the extra souvenirs we may have wanted and found along the way but didn't have space for. The item I found in Texas was an orange flannel blanket that folded up and was water-resistant on the flip side. Even folded up this would have taken up quite a bit of space. Now that space wasn't going to be an issue I wanted to purchase one and couldn't find it. After talking to a few dealers, this item was about 3 years old and was no longer carried. It was from an old vendor and they were surprised I had seen it. That left me feeling awful, that was the one thing I had seen that I really wanted. So it just wasn't meant to be. We packed up the extra shirts we had gotten and hit the roa...

 Today we head further north and on the agenda for stops Glacier National Park. This one I did manage to get our ticket on the 48 hr sale. With the spotty cell coverage navigating had been interesting. Most days it would pick up enough to get us by. I brought an atlas, mainly because it was a Harley atlas with all the Harley stores. But it came in handy! Zak learned some fun things too. Had never had a purpose or need for a map, he had never looked at one truly needing to get somewhere. Our issue was the road Google was turning us down, Scenic Byway, was a 24-mile dirt road. Having gotten off-road at the White Sands and being vibrated to death idling in first gear, we were not willing to test this road. Not wanting to backtrack we flipped around and continued on hoping the signal would pick up and correct our path. After 20-30 minutes of driving, we figured we might want to check and make sure we were going in the right direction. Telling Zak what towns we had just gone through and...

 Leaving Loveland, CO we headed north and northwest into Wyoming to Cody. Today was mostly driving we got to see some transitions in terrain. For lunch, we found a Taco John's. Assuming this is Bell's little brother (Taco Bell)? The food was pretty good with the exception of the side. To have 'Mexican' food, using that loosely, why on Earth would you have a side of hashbrowns? These were little ones similar to Burger King's breakfast ones. Heading northwest from Cody we start heading towards Bozeman, MT, but a couple of detours. Beartooth Pass is the HOG point of interest for the WY state coin. Had Zak and I been riding this would have been our fourth coin for the trip. However just didn't feel right, so we will have to make this trip again on the bikes to get these challenges and memorabilia. This pass did not disappoint! On our way back down from Beartooth Pass, Zak spotted a bag. We pulled a quick turn around to see. Sure enough, there was a bag that mounts t...
