We got a late start after Barbara's dog wandered off. We had fun searching all over the campground and eventually the dog showed up.

Then if was off to Thompson Pass. A forever climb at maybe 7 or 8 percent through the Bitterroot Mountains. Spectacular mountain views.

Then down to the historic town of Murray with its old log cabin post office.

The second pass of the day was Dobson Pass. This was a real killer. Much steeper than Thompson Pass. We were delirious. When we got to the top Larry said "what a terrible climb", to which I said "what a great climb!".

And then it was down to the start in Wallace and our loop was complete.
