Just a few of us at a rest stop
Another relaxed day. Left West Glacier in route to Port of Roosville with temperature about 50. After getting there (left Deb at border bar with firearms) they asked why I did not exchange in Eureka. Seems there are more Canadians in Eureka than US citizens. Had a great ride along the Kootenai River, sweeping curves and lots of deer-some very close. Finally found a McDonalds in Libby to use their internet connection. Ran into some riders, one couple on a chain driven BMW who said they would see us at Salem. After a neat ride along 20 to Colville, WA we stopped for the night at the Selkirk Motel. American owned and operated, clean, motorcycle friendly, just down the street from the Acorn Bar & Feed Station and best yet...$49. Hard to set up a tent for that price.Tomorrow will hopefully find us in Oak Harbour, WA. Also met a rider from B.C. who was down in US on Holiday. Had a fine malt beverage and dinner with him at the Acorn Bar..Mileage today:345

Deb here: today was marvelous !Cool,sunny morning lots of twisted roads and no idiot tourists. The roads today were very far from the beaten path. We

saw very few vehicles and they were locals. The beauty of today made up for yesterday. Travel tip: Sleep mask because there is always a light outside your tent or window!
