Fire and Smoke

We're in Great Falls, MT for a couple more days. The smoke from all the wild fires has been pretty bad here the last couple of days.

Mila sent us this picture of the fire in Glacier National Park. We were just there last week. This is looking across McDonald Lake. Sometimes in the National Parks they don't fight the fires, They let them burn out by themselves. I'm not sure that's what's going on here. Looks bad. The Park is closed.

 This was the sun yesterday at 5 pm. The smoke almost blocked it out.

We did the Tour at the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center here in Great Falls. It was a very Interesting tour. They had a nice 30 min movie telling the amazing story of Lewis and Clark. 

This is the coin that Lewis and Clark would give to the Indians on their trip.

  A funny story, Beaver Swipes a note that Lewis left for Clark on a fresh cut pole so Clark went the wrong way.

Peggy hates these suspension bridges. She's holding on pretty tight.

We went to The Great Falls. They Built the Ryan Dam on top of it back in 1913. I don't think they would be allowed to build a dam atop a waterfall today.

The falls looked pretty.

But the funny thing is this is a different falls 5 miles up the river and they did it here too. 

I got a new bike delivered here at the park. It's an Addmotor E-Bike with fat tires. It can go 25 MPH with a fat guy on it. Took me about an hour to put together.

On day two I got a flat tire. That's how my luck goes sometimes. Got it fixed at the local Bike shop, Back on the road an hour later!

Got a nice helmet to keep the melon safe.

I added a link to a new page to the blog on the side. It's a list of Favorite Bars, Restaurants and Breweries that we have found in our travels. Check it out.  

We went to the Farmers Market on Saturday and got some really good sweet corn. The BGE did it's job again!
