Leaving Whitefish we headed down MT 93 to US 12. This road was awesome, although the ladies got tired of looking at a river for 80 miles. I have never seen a presttier drive than this. The road is faithful to the river with light traffic, sweeping curves and beautiful vistas, a perfect motorcycle road. The curves were much more predictable than the Needles highway. The only issue we had was finding gas for Uncle Eddie as there is nothing on this road for miles. When we finally found a place, Bear and I decided to pass due to a minimum purchase with a credit card of $25. Uncle Eddie paid cash and the exhorbitant price and we moved on finding another station about 25 miles down the road. The ladies were so impressed with the Best Western at Whitefish that they made reservations at one in Orofino, ID. This one was really impressive, brand new and right on the river. We ordered pizza for take out and sat at the outside tables to enjoy a great meal without having to leave the place. Then we went for a walk around town, which took all of 20 minutes. Not much here.
