Didn't get on the road till close to noon
A very nice visit with some friends

Thanks for everything Andy and Louise

Thought you might like a picture of our truck
Making your house look better😀😀😀

**Chevyland** · 09-22-2016, 09:04 PM

We filled up in Lolo Mt. And hung a left on Hwy 12
About at the top of the mountains we saw this

**Chevyland** · 09-22-2016, 09:08 PM

Then this

Oh yea the fun is about to begin

**Chevyland** · 09-22-2016, 09:14 PM

It was along the river the entire 99 miles

DOWNhill

**Chevyland** · 09-22-2016, 09:18 PM

Through the the Forest

**Chevyland** · 09-22-2016, 09:23 PM

It was so beautiful through the
Bitterroot Mountains

**special-K** · 09-22-2016, 09:58 PM

So nice. Back in your time zone now. Hey, I just noticed those cool accessory steps on the rear bumper. Handy dandy. Lookin' awful cloudy there. Any rain out of that?

**Chevyland** · 09-22-2016, 10:02 PM

We were just minding our own Bussiness
Taking in all the nature around us
Then
In
Syringa

It all changed!

Get ready to feast your eyes
On
A smorgasbord of
Chevy

Patina

Yea.
Most of this trip we didn't know what time zone we were in
We didn't care!!

I asked about those steps early on in this thread
Maybe sstim will have an idea

The rain has been kind to us
Maybe only 1 hour drive time in it in the total trip
So far
Please everyone knock on wood

**Chevyland** · 09-22-2016, 10:52 PM

Is anyone still hungry?

**Chevyland** · 09-23-2016, 12:43 AM

In this vacation

And take along a few hundred friends. I too don't want this one to end

I've been showing my wife your posts. She's in love with that part of the country.

What app are you using to post your photos?

**Chevyland** · 09-23-2016, 10:39 AM

Yes. It is very pretty out here
I don't use an ap on the pics
I just take them, then load them up thru
"Mange attachments" from my camera roll
I wanted to be able to load more at one time,
But never figured out how to do it
Which kind of made me be more selective of,
What I was posting, and
Also be more descriptive

Anyone out there have any idea?

I have them too. They look to be a dealer installed option. I say this because my truck has a few dealer installed options from the catalog of the time, and no other added accessories. Mine look like they were specifically made to contour the Chevy bumper

That looks like a painting! You can only load one pic per post with an iPHone. Not sure about the rest of the cell phone brands.

**Chevyland** · 09-23-2016, 01:05 PM

The Snake River--leaving Clarkston Wa.

Does everyone remember
"Evel Knievel"

When he tried to jump it

**70STOVEBOLT** · 09-23-2016, 01:19 PM

I just watched that video this week!

**Chevyland** · 09-23-2016, 01:41 PM

Check this out

This is in the Harley museum
We visited back in Milwuakee

I read his book a year or two ago
He was quite the character!

**Chevyland** · 09-23-2016, 02:02 PM

Somewhere near Hay Wa.

Very different landscape from the last several days

Beautiful in its own right

**Chevyland** · 09-23-2016, 09:43 PM

So much for all that good weather I was talking about
Welcome to the

Pacific Northwest

We Droped into an Army Convoy
They drove as slow as we did

Once the rain eased up
We passed them

I think it was the only time we passed anyone
The entire trip so far

68 CRACKERBOX · 09-23-2016, 09:49 PM

what was the name of the Harley book? I would be interested in reading it.also have sure enjoyed your trip thanks for all the pictures and updates.

It's hard for me to see on my phone, is the rubber pad on its own piece of chrome that is bolted thru the bumper?
I see your truck must be a super also
From the chrome tailgate handle

We almost we're going to come thru Cheyenne
I wanted a picture in front of a city sign
It was just a bit further south than we wanted to go

Here's a pic from earlier I the day
Not bad for 55mph out the side window

It wasn't a book so much on Harley's
But more on the crazy life of Evel
I think it was something like
"The high flying life of Evel Knievel"

Here's some more red white and blue for you.

And a bit of Chrome
