Routes / L & C part 4

« on: July 13, 2012, 05:57:29 pm »

Dear friends,

being on the L & C trail at the moment I sent a few things back home that I didn'nt need any more and  somehow unfortunately and idiotically without thinking also Map # 4 from Dickinson further West. Since I probably won't find the ACA-maps in Dickinson or Medora:

Can somebody please name the towns between Medora ND and Grass Range (I hope that's the right name) MT, where I can find camp-sites/lodging and food-services? The distances I can take from a Montana ordinary road map. 07/14-16  I will stay at the Theodore Roosevelt Park near Medora.

Thank you very much for the help. The precise descriptions in the maps as to services etc were all through Missouri, Iowa and both Dakotas of immeasurable value.

Routes / Glendive, MT to Havre, MT

« on: April 05, 2012, 03:46:37 am »

Dear friends,

some time in July I will be riding from Glendive, MT to Havre, MT (I have to catch the train there to Pittsburgh, PA). From what I see on the map there are 3 possibilities to do this. 1: via Hwy 200 to Grass Range and from there north to Harlem (Hwy 2) and West to Havre, 2: via Hwys 200 and 80 to Fort Benton, following the L & C trail, and then north to Havre, 3: via Circle to Glasgow and then on Hwy 2 to Havre (on the Rand McNally map Glasgow to Havre is marked as "Scenic route").

I take it from "Bicycling the Lewis & Clark Trail" that 1 seems to be quite interesting and without too much traffic.

Can anybody make recommendations which route would be the most interesting (scenerywise)? Would be very grateful for advice.

Routes / L&C; St. Louis, MO to Hartford, IL

« on: December 08, 2011, 03:58:16 pm »

Hallo there!
Next year I hopefully will be doing the Lewis and Clark bike trail up to Great Falls, MT starting in Hartford, IL. However, first I'll have to get there from downtown St. Louis (I don't know yet which hotel I'll be staying at). From Google-maps I take it that the most direct route is via N Broadway, McKinley Bridge, Cedar St, Lewis and Clark Blvd.
 
Is this route a good choice or a horror trip traffic-wise?
 
Thanks a lot for advices.
