Believe it or not, nothing much to report. We arrived in Great Falls, MT, yesterday afternoon after numerous delays on the trip from West Yellowstone (wrecks, slow traffic, etc.). It was almost 90 degrees - this after experiencing about 40 degrees two days before!!!!
Anyway, the grocery store was calling (we were out of paper plates on which to feed Bear and Peaches). So, off to Smith's I got. Smith's is Kroger!!! They had Breyers ice cream and a lot of other stuff that looked too interesting to pass up. So, I checked out and went back to the RV. Guess what I didn't get!!! Paper plates. I didn't get them until Sunday morning when I went back to the store.
We did make two forays in the tourist area. There is a Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center along the Missouri River. We drove out there and toured the center. It was really interesting, particularly after having listened to the abridged version of Undaunted Courage. We wound up buying the unabridged version to listen to on the trip home.
The interesting thing about Great Falls is the actual falls. There were 4 falls which Lewis and Clark encountered on their great expedition to find a northwest passage. They have been dammed up. The interesting thing is how it was done. The dams are placed far enough back from the falls to preserve the beauty of the falls themselves. We drove out of town about 20 miles to the Ryan Dam - which is where the Great Falls are now. It was a really nice park with a suspension bridge over a little branch of the Missouri River.
Garrie - I forgot the camera. I took some pictures at Ryan Dam with my telephone. They at the begining of this update.
That is really all we did today. Just kind of chilled. Tomorrow - we head to Glacier National Park.
