Best Western Helena

... Utah to make her happy, and me, Nicolas, Poppy and Brian would have to go back and forth (sort of like moving) so I'm rather having a bad day.<br>So I'm going to go talk to my dad now, and see if everything's alright since I just talked about one of the most scariest things that may happen.<br><br>XOXO,<br>Lovegossip909<b r>

... bridge fully clothed. That was red neck funny, Matty and I had the best entertaining start to the day we could hope for. <br><br>The rest of the ride was all downhill to the boarder. We camped on the cliff of Lake Koocanusa or koo-can-usa, a silly name from the dam treaty set up back in the 70's. But a magical spot. There we read, swam, cooked, met some local kids staying at their batch for the weekend. They had a massive cabin, 4wd trucks, wake boarding boats ...

... deli being run by a gal trying to make a real go of things. But the menu is quite good offering a number of nutritious choices. One interesting thing was a "Make Your Own Sandwich or Panini" selection and they had slips of paper and a pencil at the table for you to check boxes of what you wanted the sandwich or panini to be. A 1/2 sandwich was $6.95 and a whole sandwich was $7.75. You could get various salads, hamburgers, gyros and broasted ...

... The springs flow into the Missouri River via the shortest river in the world, the Roe River. It is just 8 feet long.<br><br>From the Lewis and Clark sites, we switched gears and went to the Charles M. Russell (the cowboy artist) Gallery, Home, and Studio. We did not know that he was born and raised in St. Louis. There was some beautiful artwork and the studio and house were interesting. It was definitely worth our time.<br><br><br><br><br>

... into town for the 3:00 capitol tour, but decided we should try to make the 2:00. We made it just in time, and that was a good thing. Our first surprise of the day occurred when we found out the 2:00 was the last tour of the day. <br><br>The building was very interesting. It was almost the identical design as the capitol in Pierre, SD. This is not surprising as South Dakota bought the plans from ...

... scenery, too much work to be relaxing, and not fast enough to be as much fun as dirt biking!    I did find a few tufts of deer hair for my collection of &#8220;natural wonders&#8221; though&#8230;  Poor thing, part of the deer was still on the trail too though.  :(<br> <br> <br><br>  After the bike ride, we ate Mexican food ...

... perhaps it was a juvenile bird or a young eagle after all??)<br><br><br><br> After the boat tour my cousin and her husband had to leave early enough to go back to their home in Billings, MT. The rest of us had wanted to take a train ride through historic downtown Helena, but that attraction closed early so we drove and walked around ...

... was very busy and we didn't want him to feel he should be under pressure to take us. I felt shocking and very tired so we chilled out on the beach by the lake. I told Steve that I was not ready to leave Helena until I was feeling a bit better just in case something didn't feel right overnight etc. We were just about to eat tea when Jason and James appeared in their car asking us to go and do some water skiing. If I had felt any better I might have had a go but ...

... site of the Last Spike of the old west railroad. After meeting Uncle Bill and Grandma for lunch at Scharf's, we said our goodbyes and headed for Choteau, where Mike's Uncle Jimmy was supposed to meet us and show us old family history sites. On the way there we stopped in Helena, where Mike's mother was born and walked the downtown until we spotted a coffeee shop...

... There were stories of grand events told by a cook who had worked in the kitchen for 48 years, baking bread in different colours to match the event etc. etc. Talking of food it was time for lunch, back to Last Chance Gulch Street. We went into a soda fountain bar called "The Parrott" They make their own confectionary getting through something like 10 tons of chocolate per year. We squeezed past the queues in the ...
