Helena Days Inn

... 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>

... Lake lay at the very top and we got to the top at dusk. The small lake at the top by the camp site had hundreds of little fish jumping out of the water bug hunting. Amazing site to see. There were some other campers up there, so Matty asked them if we could put our food in their car so we didn't have to tie it up in a tree that night. It was about 4 degrees so we were keen on getting our tents up and into sleeping bags asap.<br><br>Still in heavy bear country, and ...

... Helena and its past. Well, the AAA book failed to mention that the 5:30pm tour starts tomorrow, July 1 and today is the 30th. The guy said we could catch the 11am tour tomorrow. Ok, maybe next time we visit.<br><br>We took pictures of the capital building and some statues then we headed out Montana Ave to the Murdock Feed store. Yup, they had 50 pound bags of black oiler sunflower seeds for $17.95 so I bought two. Well Day would not approve ...

... 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>

Last night we decided that we would really like to get to Great Falls on this trip. We figured that if we could get to Helena early enough for a capitol tour this afternoon, we could spend tomorrow in Great Falls.<br><br>We managed to leave Hardin before 8:00. The drive was long, but not too difficult. We spotted our first antelope of this trip in the fields along the way. We followed the Yellowstone ...

... toad" (aka the car "towed" behind an RV!).<br> <br> <br><br>  In the afternoon the weather turned nice again and we tried one of the local mountain bike trails, which my aunt tells me the city of Helena is making a new push to popularize.  It was very pretty but mountain biking is not really for me &#8211; too fast to see ...

... domesticated on commercial farms. Any souvenir shop here in Montana offers an array of huckleberry items, from lotion to taffy and jam. My aunt and uncle have even served up huckleberry pancakes for breakfast one morning and huckleberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream one evening for dessert!<br><br><br> Actually, Jim has ...

... from the car park is already 4380 ft so only the last 1088 ft to go :) We chose the shortest route of about 1.5 miles, this means it's also the steepest route, it gets the lungs working, heart pumping, sweat glands leaking and all those other things that are supposed to be good for you. It turned out a harder climb than Rogers Pass, which was a harder climb than Bears Hump, so goodness knows what Betsy will expect of me ...
