Day 131 - July 25, 2008 and Day 132 - July 26, 2008

OK - today you get a double dose as I catch up. On the 25th we went to one of the best interpretive centers we have yet to visit- The Lewis and Clark National Historical Trail Interpretive Center in Great Falls, MT. The exhibits were fantastic and the staff and volunteers were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. It was one of our best "museum" stops. Then we continued on to several western wear shops as Frank continued his quest for the perfect Gus cut/crease hat. He found one but wouldn't you know it wasn't in his size.

On the 26th we had a travel day from Great Falls, MT to Livingston, MT. As you can see from the pictures the state of Montana is utterly beautiful and majestic. I can definitely see why its nickname is "Big Sky" as everything here in the landscape is huge and makes you see what an infinitely small part of the universe that we are.

This is called "Paradise Valley". It is on the route from Great Falls, MT to Livingston, MT which we travelled today. It is framed by the Absaroka (which is in the picture) and the Gallatin ranges and is traversed by the pristine Yellowstone River. What an incredible country we have!!!

View from our camp site of the Yellowstone River. Can you believe we are pulled into our site front first and have this beautiful view right from the Coach?
