As soon as she's done we'll be on the road. taking I-94 to Chicago and from there who knows. Haven't really decided yet on the route once past Chicago.

Bummer Posted July 15, 2011 Share #4 Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) Not a Michigan rider, but... Irene and I are heading out mid-day (Friday). We're heading up and across Illinois, Iowa, and Minnesota, then across North Dakota to spend a couple of days visiting a grandson and his mom in Williston. From there we're heading across Going To The Sun in Glacier (it opened on the 13th). Then a casual ride south to Cody. We should be rolling in on Sunday afternoon. We're taking the laptop and will check back when we can. If we see any Ventures we'll holler on channel 29 (as always).

Bubber Posted July 15, 2011 Share #5 Posted July 15, 2011 Heading out Thursday (4 am) morning and hightailing it to the Black Hill. An all day ride for sure. Momma, aka Mrs Bubber, wants to spend Fri and Sat in the BH. Sunday heading west to Cody. I gotta work in a time to get to OB-1's for that steak too. :banana: Hopefully Sat. night. Mrs Bubber is in Madison WI so I gotta nail this down when she gets back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon_One Posted July 18, 2011 Share #7 Posted July 18, 2011 Leaving in the morning. Looks like my route will be I-94 to I -294 to I-90 all the way to 14 (Cody). Maybe a few side trips between Wi and Wy. We'll be taking our time once we get on 90 heading west. Anyone along that route give a shout out.

You might want to consider going 212. A great highway, light traffic and very few LEO's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up there. Gonna check it out. Not much of a detour either. Maybe hit it by way of 14 to 71 and westward ho from there. What 14 like?

Larry, I don't know how big the trailer is you are pulling but if you decide to take 212 over the Beartooth be sure you have the power to get up there and the breaking to get down the other side. You don't have to go over the top though, there is a road (don't recall the name) just south of Red Lodge that will take you to cody. Be very careful on 212 ( DO THE SPEED LIMIT OR LESS) especially at dawn & dusk, the deer are everywhere. BRIGHT LIGHTS AT NIGHT!!! That's the road I was riding last year when I hit that deer, just north of Red Lodge! Watch for Wayne's house on 212 near Roberts Mt. A log home with a BIG red barn attached. He has an old M-37 army truck out by the road advertising his machine shop. Stop in and tell him Jay & Jeannie said Hi. Wayne is an excellent mechanic and fabricator if anyone needs something repaired. Plus he knows the Beartooth like the back of his hand, I'm sure he could be talked into riding BT Have a Fun and safe trip Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then 16 to 10Sheep. At 10 Sheep pick up the 10 Sheep- Hyattville Road (Cty 49) into Cody. The Big Horns can present a bit of a problem, but going this route the highest point is the Powder River pass. 10,000 feet. From there, it's all down hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Black Owl with white hair, we might take 23 s/w and pick up 212 we wanted to see some of the sights around the Black Hills and the will head us in that direction...

Black Owl Posted July 19, 2011 Share #13 Posted July 19, 2011 Whenever I have the option, I will take 212 West. As I said, it's a great highway and seems too be the bikers choice in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
