Day 24 - Travel Day from Havre, Montana to Great Falls, Montana


We are starting another glorious day in “Big Sky” Country. 

Why they call it "Big Sky"














We left the most weirdly configured RV park we have ever been in.

We traveled a whopping 123 miles from Havre, Montana to Great Falls, Montana.

Surprise!  Surprise!  On the way out of town there was a Wal-Mart which we actually passed up and did not go shopping.

During the trip we spotted eleven pronghorn between Havre and Fort Benton.

The first highlight of the day was our stop at the “birthplace” of Montana, which is Fort Benton.

Listening to the guide in the Trading Post


The interpretive guide was in period dress and gave us a comprehensive talk about the fort/trading post.  It was in existence in various capacities as a fur trading post and military camp from 1846 until 1881.

















In the evening some of us walked and some drove to the Heritage Inn for a dinner.  We dined on Montana flat iron steak, or chicken with all the fixings and dessert.


We are now recuperating from too much food and fun!

RV-ing is a tough life, but someone has to do it.
