Fairfield Inn By Marriott Great Falls

... Diamond and it was so neat and clean and the towns that we went through are just so clean and neat and just Mom and Pop stores. Would be really nice to spend time in some of these little towns. Each one seems to have a heritage park and museum. Such a pleasant drive and relaxing. We came into the USA again about 2:00 and settled in for the night in Great Falls, Montana. We have been on the phone to everyone and we are ...

Two years ago when we did a house swap we spent a month fishing the Missouri river , so when we came back into town we stopped at the old house, filled the water tanks , and headed for a small campsite on the river, only known by the locals. We spent two nights here, Brent fished the river with a friend, and Jo knitted socks.<br><br>Also our computer died and we feel we are missing our right arm, hence the short entries

... car and spend the weekend with Dave and Lisa. It's about a 5 1/2 to 6 hour drive to Calgary but the highway is excellent and there was little traffic. The pictures show how heavy the sky was.<br><br>We really enjoyed the weekend and had a great salmon meal on Saturday with Dave and Lisa. They certainly are a busy pair! Saturday afternoon I was able to connect with Lynda, my new favorite hairdresser, and got a much needed ...

Don finally slowed down enough today that when he tried to watch a movie he fell asleep. We walked a bit after supper and I had to share my Montana sunset with you. There is a small park just outside the fence of the park. Although we are located on a noisy corner where two main roads come together it is shady and handy to downtown.

... was that this wasn't remote. It was only 35 miles to one town, 45 to another and an hour to Great Falls. She had already made at least one triip to Great Falls that day for parts. The roads into these farms are gravel, as opposed to 'dirt', and if one is familiar with driving on loose gravel (read round stones) the driving is not bad. Unlike in Colorado, many of the farmers still live on the land where they farm.<br><br>While this summer's adventures may not be ...

Even though it was the last day, we decided to check out the Montana State Fair. The livestock was gone but there were enough exhibits to keep us busy for a couple of hours. The afternoon show featured Amanda Overmyer, an American Idol Season 7 finalist. <br><br>Don was talking to some ...

Well... slight delay in the plans. But here I am, only a day later departure than planned. At least I got to sleep on my parent's couch one more time before Christmas! I'm so sad that I couldn't see Megan before I leave... I guess that just means that she needs to come down ...

... trees and beautiful wildflowers. There is recreation for the community aside from the path itself (pools, skateboard park, horseshoe park (!), tennis) and concrete benches and picnic tables every 100 yards or so. Beautiful and functional. Lewis and Clark dominate Great Falls. In 1805 they expected the passage through the area to take a few days, but it became a month of portaging over five massive falls - too ...

... situated in Israel, which, I would assume is the company she would work for. Something even stranger I noticed. The Dead Sea Company is a Hadon Group division. So what? You may be asking yourself. The Hadon Group is the company that helped Ellie meet the extra-terrestrials in the movie Contact. Spooky. Since I haven't written about that evening yet, I'm going to sidetrack. After doing all that, I took a walk to the Riviera to get my show ticket. It's almost 6, the show ...

... projects and of course the railway. However I digress: we avidly read all the relevant web pages from the homeland security site, hoping to make sure we had done all we could to make our border crossing as straight forward as possible and that any search would not reveal anything we shouldn't have on board. We ate all the vegetables we had left (and a very nice curry they made too, but I'm not ...
