We are off road enthusiasts who enjoy the great outdoors and the adventure of exploring new places.

Many things make up a great expedition. The preparations and the planning, the camping, the travel, the camaraderie, meeting new friends, challenging trails and seeing new sights around every corner are just a few reasons we enjoy it so much.

We believe that we should be good stewards of the land by following the tenets of Tread Lightly, practicing low impact camping and encouraging others to do the same.

CDR Day 3






















1200 hundred miles so far...........

Our third day was really interesting account the distance we drove. We made it to Seeley Lake, MT, which is about 50 miles south of Kalispell, MT.

The countryside changed from farm ground to mountain areas and the cool air in the mountains is great after a hot day.

The first photo shows the group on an overlook at Marshall Pass which is the first of many times we will cross the Continental Divide.

This expedition is turning into a more enjoyable time than we had planned. Tomorrow we will slow down the trip a lot. The trip up here has been fast because we want to get on the CR as soon as we can.

Tonight will be our first cooked meal in camp. We are having corn tortillas filled with seasned rice, green beans and something to drink.

More tomorrow, stay tuned.

Tom

    Mom is having trouble using the SPOT locator. One of the specific links works, the other shows the trip as being in Nigeria, Africa. Anyone else having the same trouble?
