Smooth Ride

Northern Idaho and Montana are BEAUTIFUL!  We rode all the way to Livingston MT.  There was a light sprinkle in the afternoon, but for the most part the ride was smooth.  How smooth you ask? Well...

About 170 miles west of Livingston, we pulled off I-90 to take a short break.  The little town we found ourselves in had one small church and one post office/general store that was closed.  It was a great little taste of rural Montana.  As we were stretching and taking pictures, Burgma set her phone on Beamerpop's right saddle bag.  

After everyone had sufficiently re-discovered normal human motion, we got back on I-90 and headed toward Livingston.  Beamerpop, leading the pack, decided to "open it up."  We were making great time at 100 mph on the straight open roads of Montana.  One gas and one grocery stop later, Beamerpop realizes that Burgma's phone is still on his saddle bag.  To our amazement, the phone had stayed put!  This incident only further backs up the family motto, "Better to be lucky than smart."  Unfortunately, it also went to feed Beamerpop's ego about his bike.  "That just goes to show how smooth a ride on a BMW is."

I am definitely looking forward to tomorrow's ride through Yellowstone and hopefully we can all keep our possessions at least safely strapped down.
