@wreckdiver1321
I want to thank you very much for taking your whole day to be my tour guide and taking me on some awesome back roads in Cooke City and finally driving the whole of Beartooth Pass. It was a great day.
As planned, I got to where we had planned to meet. Waited for him and there was no sign of him. I waited an additional 30 minutes and still no sign of wreckdiver1321. So, I figured some thing came up so he would not show up. Not knowing that the road was closed on the section where he was supposed to get on and so he had a delay and when the roads opened up, he was basically hauling it to meet me.
So feeling he will not show up for our meeting, I set off on the Beartoot pass scenic road, while watching out for him, in case he shows up.
After about 10 minutes of driving, while I was negotiating a bend and doing about 65mph and he was probably doing the same, we bypassed each other in what seemed like a flash, but it was enough time for us to recognize each others vehicles and honk and flashed our lights.
So, I pulled over and he came and joined me. We said our hellos, got a little acquainted and it was time to take off. He asked that we get on channel 23 on our cbs. Then we were off to go do about 2 to 3 hours of trails in Cooke City. All the time, he would get on the radio and point out things and tell me a lot of history and geography of the area. He was like a true tour guide. All this while our vehicles were in 4lo basically talking to themselves as we climbed up the rocky mountains of Cooke City.
We did Daisy Pass and Lulu Pass. While the trails were not tough, they were quite steep and the sight was breath taking. The Daisy trail was a tight fit for my huge Infiniti, but it went up the steep rocky trail like nothing. This trail too was very colourful with tons of yellow daisies. Quite a relaxing atmosphere.
From there, we hit the Beartooth Pass highway. Made some stops at his favorite spots along the way which were truly some nice sites to stop at on the road. All this time, he was telling me tons of great stories on the cb. Then we finally made it to the top of Beartooth Pasd and it felt like being on the top of the world. The weather was great. We took in the sights and sounds and walked around. Then it was time to finsih the Beartooth Pass. Which was a very winding road down to Red Lodge. Then the Pass was over. We treated him to lunch where we got to know each other a lot more. Great guy! You should be a tour guide, man.
After lunch, I thanked him for his time and gave him a package I had prepared for him. Then we said our goodbyes as we got on the way for our 3 hours drive back to our hotel. It was a great day.
