Day 2: Coeur d'Alene - Hardin. 556 miles.

Oh the weather outside is frightful ...

Today was a long day. It was lovely to start with familiar coffee, but Fourth of July Pass was pretty slushy and scarier coming down than going up. We traded off shortly thereafter, and Lookout Pass wasn't much better. I got back behind the wheel shortly before Missoula and drove over clear roads and under beautiful sunny skies into Butte. Note to travellers: Continental Divide is East of Butte. Cease and desist premature celebrations for arrival in Butte!

It snowed off and on all day and visibility wasn't great. Of course, after dark, things were perfect weather and visibility-wise, so we elected to push on to Hardin in the hopes of getting back on schedule tomorrow. Early early wake-up and more driving for me tomorrow.
