2025 GDR - Day-8: Columbia Falls to CANADA. Yeah!!! (92 miles off-road)

This completes our vintage dirt-bike ride across the GREAT United States starting from Antelope Wells NM at the Mexico border to the Canadian border in Northern Montana .🏁 🧭🇺🇸

Breaking camp to head from Columbia Falls to Canada. 

 First stop, Glacier national Park.

We rode through the Glacier national Park. More Amazing Rocky mountains behind us. 

Our GPS-Kevin red route was closed but it was a fun ride to get to that point. So now we're heading back to find another route.

Stopped here and got some cinnamon rolls and had a Sasquatch sighting.

We bought this poster for Lowell. He likes things related to roosters and chickens.

Met Lowell here here just down the road from the Polebridge Mercantile. Buried a token here. We're all pointing at it. 

Notice that we're only 16 mi from Canada 🇨🇦

Yeaaa, we finally made it to the Canadian border!

There was another couple named Steve and Lynne. They were from the Yukon in Canada and they were driving South to the United States border. We met them. We had a lot of fun talking to them.

Lynne pretending to be border patrol and trying to keep Parker from crossing into Canada 😆

Nick and Lowell celebrating their  adventurous of crossing the United States on dirt bikes. 

Buried a token at the base of this big white rock. It is just to the left of the green sign. You can see it in the big picture that was posted earlier.

Went back to the Rocky mountain campground in Kalispell and we pitched camp and then we decided to go ahead and head home on the 17-hour drive. 

WALLEN!

The theme song for our trip was rawhide. Here are the words. 

Another Sasquatch sighting.

We might have had another UFO sighting like the one we had at Jones pass in 2012. The purple orb was not visible to the naked eye, but when we took a photograph of that bright star in the sky, the orb appeared. 👽

We finally made it to Lowell's house after 17 hours of team driving. Great job team!!!
--------------------------------

We had a free day so we went to Taylor and Parker's favorite boot stomping honky tonk. 😆

2025 GDR - Day-7: Seeley Lake to Columbia Falls (95 miles off-road)

Parker is "cowboy camping" Lowell and I also tried to cowboy camp but didn't make it the whole night. 

This is Steve from Fort Collins Colorado. He was on a motorcycle adventure riding all around Glacier national Park and he needed a place to camp so we invited him to camp with us.

Rocky mountain campground near Columbia Falls in Kalispell. This was a very nice campground with very nice facilities.

There are a lot of canola fields near Columbia Falls. You can see the yellow field in the foreground and it made for a beautiful picture with the mountains in the background. 

I always take a picture of Aspen trees for Tam. She loves Aspen trees. This little Grove of Aspen trees also had some nice rocks in front of it.  LOVE YOU Tammy!

Parker and I drove the chase vehicle for part of the time and stopped at a beautiful River to do a little fishing.

Wallen loves to fish too.

2025 GDR - Day-6: Helena to Seeley Lake (108 miles off-road)

Leaving Helena heading to Columbia Falls

We met an amazing group of ladies. They are hiking the continental divide trail from Canada to Mexico 

Notice the Santa Fe train in the background.

Alpacas in the background.

Beautiful mountains everywhere in Montana.

Lowell was waiting for us in the Chase vehicle at this bridge. The rivers in Montana were one of the most amazing things to me. They are crystal clear and full of colorful River Rock.

Parker and Nick drove the Chase vehicle part of the way and found a beautiful River to fish in. Here's wallen and Parker fishing.

Heading to Seeley Lake to find a campground.

Parker the chef.

Traditional burning of the underwear. 🔥

1,000 Year old tree named Gus. 

Another One bites the dust... And another one gone, and another one gone, another one bites a dust...

Next stop is Columbia Falls. We have about 95 miles of off-road riding.
