DAY 2
Another wonderful day! We started the day by attending church with Ben and Sarah in Coberg. Coberg is north of Spokane on Highway 2 which is the route we were taking. After church we rolled north to Sandpoint, ID. We had a great lunch on a deck overlooking a harbor on the lake. It is about 70 degrees and absolutely beautiful. From there we rounded the lake and headed south through Hope, ID. We took a picture of the old Hope Hotel. Barb and I stayed here a few years ago.
Now it is on to Highway 200. It runs along a beautiful river. We actually were riding down a valley. The MT speed limit was 70 but we could not go this fast due to the deer running across the road. We had to brake abruptly 3 or 4 times.
From the river valley we climbed up to a high grassy plateau that we sailed over and ended up on the shores of Flathead Lake. What beautiful views!
I failed to calculate the time change into the days arrival time so we got into our motel about 6:30 PM. We unloaded the bike and headed to dinner. We ate at a mexican restaurant right next door to the motel.
Oh, by the way, while we were in Sandpoint I called the East Glacier Park Lodge and got reservation for tomorrow night. I will take some good pictures. It is a magnificient lodge!
Two great days behind us and hopefully many more to come. However, the weather report for tomorrow is for possible showers.
