On the Trail of Lewis and Clark

Sun. Aug. 29
After breakfast at Wheat Montana, we drove around Three Forks, where the Gallatin, Jefferson and Madison rivers come together to form the Missouri River.   Lots of Lewis & Clark history.  Met a couple from WI there!  Too late for the Three Forks Museum with 571 kinds of barbed wire! Aw shucks!  Rain, thunderstorms & hail so we tried "grilling " pesto chicken in the convection oven - not bad. 
Mon. Aug 30
Had leftover sticky buns from Wheat Montana with poached eggs for breakfast.  Spent most of the day catching up on computer, USServas and arranging Spokane visit.  Left for Missoula about 4PM  Drove through Butte - one monster open pit mine - what an eyesore!  Arrived at Jellystone Campground about 8PM.Went to Ice Cream Social for huckleberry ice cream and saved it for dessert.  Boiled huge prawns 4-6 per lb. for dinner.
Tues. Aug 31
Up at 8AM oatmeal and fresh peaches for breakfast.  David on computer and phone about USServas, Ellen to shower and office to arrange another day here.  Research next month of journey; 1st to Spokane to see Tim and Tracy for Labor Day. Had steak and baked potato for dinner and watched Obama's speech marking the end of combat phase of Iraq war.
Wed. Sept 1
Left Jellystone about 12:30 after several calls and emails and many shopping stops in Missoula - Home Depot for door catch bolt, Napa for light bulbs, USPO to mail stuff to Mark, AAA for Canada maps & tour books and Rosauers grocery store with a "Huckleberries" in it. Drove 35 mi to Lolo Hot Springs where Lewis & Clark crossed the Lolo Pass and camped at Travelers Rest.  Hot Springs are 105!  Had sole meueniere for dinner with red potatoes and carrots. 
Thurs. Sept. 2
Cold, gray morning.  David went for a walk to check out the facility.  Spent morning on the computer - out of cell phone range.  Weather cleared in PM, turned into a nice sunny day.  Went to the pool, did water aerobics in the "cool pool" then vegged out in the hot pool.  Bought a Lewis & Clark DVD at the office.  Walked back across road to RV park and met "new Neighbors with a twin to our RV.  Shared ideas on improvements they had made and we had made.
Fri. Sept 3
On the road by 10AM. First stop Lolo Pass visitor center.  More Lewis & Clark info.  On to Lewiston, ID over winding mountain roads with a log truck following closely. Saw video at Lewis & Clark Discovery Center.  Continue to Liberty Lake, arrived about 8:30 - gained an hour.  Tim showed us where to park the RV and we slept under a real roof!
