To Montana and back, Day 22, May 11, 2011

I was up early today and in the jaquizzi by 6:30. The weather looked better and it was supposed to be warmer. Had breakfast and got on the road north to alaska, no make that montana. By the time we got to the the custer battlefield the sun was out and we had clear skys.

We were done about 2:30, got some lunch and headed south. The temperature was dropping and the clouds were dark and filling the sky.

We had decided to return to buffalo,wy and hole up there for the night. On the way back,about the time I was thinking we had about 20 miles until reserve the engine coughed once, I switched to reserve thinking that was very strange and worried that since we went on reserve very eary that gas consumption may have jumped and spent the next 18 miles worrying about running out of gas. Because of that and the poor weather I decided not to stop at fort phil kearny, site of the fetterman fight.

When we got to buffalo I found that I still didn't have to be on reserve....somthing else had caused the cough but what? The bike had run fine the rest of the way.

We had a good time as always visiting the custer battlefield. But the museum at garry owen wasn't open yet.

We are now worried about our route tommorow, it is snowing south and west of us but will check the weather channel before leaving in the morning.
