NW USA Trip 2020


Earache

Recommended Posts

Today we left Kalispell, Montana and headed for Pullman, Washington. Loads of rolling hills and rivers in the valleys. We railed along around 80 mph for most of the day and had a great ride...

The cool thing about riding through small towns is all of the weird shit you see. Like this display of an old bus, a Cadillac and some rocket ship ride...

That's a pretty surreal combo there! :classic_unsure:

Must have been a Greyhound Bus at one time I'd have thought?

Is that right @Earache?

I don;'t know. That bus predates my knowledge of vehicles, but I';d assume it probably was as I;m not aware of any other buslines back then.

That's the first thing I noticed!

I could kick myself for not going inside. They had no signage on the outside so I couldn't tell if it was a business or just some guys random collecting of shit. Wandering into buildings in small towns like this is a good way to get yourself shot.

that's USS Hawkbill I think, famous as the devils submarine.  

 

pedantic mode "ON" 

technically it's a "sail" , not a conning tower... 

Pedantic mode "OFF"

 

nice pics ?

I tried. I really did.

 

Anyway, it's located in Arco, ID where they used to - or maybe still do - make the nuke propulsion systems for subs.

The straight kline on tghe above pic is where the phone lost signal.  But that area was 120 mikles of nothing but curves and smooth, void of traffic road. Best ride I've had in years. We railerd along at a steady 80 mph through there. I didn't take a lot of pics as I was just into the ride too much...
