Missoula Run

Woke up this morning along the majestic Columbia River and headed down to the sleepy town of The Dalles, OR for fuel and to launch yesterdays post.

The destination today was my favorite Montana town, Missoula. I had never driven the route I was embarking on and I figured it to be just a straight shot. It turned out to be far more.

Overall it was beautiful country, huge waterways and land formations combined with Walla Walla onion farms that stretched as far as you could see. The onion smell was amazing!

The stretch from Louiston, OR to Missoula, MT was 210 miles. I assumed a flat road and was ready to rock. It turned out to be 190 miles of sharp curved roads that followed a large raging river through incredible forests and if you didn’t do 55mph you would be run over. At the end I felt like I’d just run a Grand Prix…

The Columbia River.

Looking back on the Columbia.

My truck is waiting for me to quit shooting photos.

More of that cool formation.

Looking back at the raging river. Pretty calm here…

  1. Awesome! I can’t believe you are on your way!! Missoula is one of my favorite places in MT too and if you are still there in the morning, Break Espresso (namely the vegan oat bars) is a great coffee shop (among many – you really can’t go wrong with food in Mizoo!). Safe travels, my friend! This is Incredible!!!

  2. Hey, I’m back in town doing fixes on the truck. Before I head out again we should buy some grass-fed beef from TWR and cook burgers on the new deck!
