DMV: Drifting Through Red Lodge

One of the biggest factors in being on the road long-term is the ability to get settled in to a place. In this video, I take you on a breakdown of how I do it, using the incredible town of Red Lodge, Montana as a springboard, and through the process making memories, and friends.

    They treat you like a 'normal' person, because you ACT like a normal person. Pretty easy when you think about it. What a beautiful area! I gotta get back up there. Safe travels Joe!

    Great job Joe and great insight into why you stop for extended periods, what you do there, how you establish “home”, and when it’s time to leave, your feelings. As Dr. Suess says, “Don’t be sad that it’s over, be glad that it happened”. Your videos continue to get better and you are on the cusp of being more famous than you want to be…haha. Keep it up!

    My first bear encounter in Montana happened near Red Lodge on my motorcycle. Younger Grizzly Male about 6' 6" tall. Stepped out of the brush about 60 yards ahead. Locked her up and slid sideways trying to stop and jammed through the first three gears within 50 ft of not a good situation...you're nuts for camping in there, grizzly bear aren't afraid of humans. You are lucky. Mountain lions hang out in that area as well...Montana has some big cats.

    My son lives in Livingston and my wifes sister lives in Clyde Park, He said where you see an abundance of Elk you can bet that Griz are in the area. He said you don't always hear about Bear attacks because it's bad for the Tourism. But said 2 or 3 a year isn't uncommon. Joe needs a sidearm for sure.Or at least Bear Spray.

    Red Lodge will be forever edged in my memory as the most expensive place I spent the night on my 88 day US Motorcycle trip through the US in 2015. It was the high season and everything was booked out, except this place that cost $300/night. I was just comin through on my way to Yellowstone so didn't really see much of anything. Must come back here on day in the off season this time I think 😆

    Yes it does rain in Red Lodge. I got caught in a STORM coming over Beartooth and down into Red Lodge. I don't like motels but gladly would've taken one in Ted Lodge but the Hells Angels had their gathering the week around Sturgis, so "No room at the Inn." It frickin Poured on me...I finally found refuge at a shotgun range in Laurel Mt underneath the trap shooting shelter...behind some trees...yes the cops did drive by...but I think they didn't see me. The wind howled and it rained so hard I really did not want to camp that night. Once I got settled it did calm down but OMG!!!

I love learning about the various communities and regions out there! Many years ago we took a family trip cross-country and went to Yellowstone and numerous other places out that way but I was just a kid and I would love to go back there as an adult! It looks magnificent and similarly to you, I absolutely love the mountains, the outdoors, and all it has to offer including the tranquility of it all! Ride safe and be well my friend!
