I clicked the link to youtold.com, and now my eyes hurt.

It's more like... Whatever the color of evil is.

Is satan yellow? That would make sense to me now.

What time of year did you come through Montana? And what did you think of it here? From your map, it doesn't look like you took the I90 pass to Idaho, which is good, because it would have been terrifying on a motorcycle.

Haha yeah, I90 to Missoula is fairly terrifying -- one of the few places I actually drive below the speed limit. Curvy, mountainous roads, and a 75 MPH speed limit do not make for particularly comfortable driving, especially with the sorts of inclement weather we get here. It's beautiful, but it's hard to appreciate nature when you're fearing for your life. Lookout Pass is the bit you avoided by forgoing I90 to Idaho, and be glad you did -- it's snowy basically all year, and peaks elevation-wise right about in the middle, so it's a huge uphill climb where it's hard to make enough power to get up, and then a downhill "oh shit we're sliding in the snow" sort of freefall. So yeah, if you ever come by this way on a motorcycle again, probably avoid that...

If you don't mind me asking (and you don't have to be specific), whereabouts was this Chicago guy at? That's an awesome picture. A bit past Missoula, I would guess?
