I'm a new Bird owner

[Jerry Peters]

The trip from Missoula to Kooskia is a great trip. It follows the
river and you will definitely get used to turning the steering wheel
but otherwise it is fine. Just take your time and enjoy the beauty.
Have made the trip in our 97 43' Bird and enjoyed it a lot. Perhaps
I should say we spend a lot of time in the CO mountains and so are
used to mountain driving but this is not a bad road in a Bird.
