We were doing well until we came into some small Montana town. Mike & Janna warned us, they only have two seasons here in Montana, winter and construction. LOL. Well we hit construction that had the road shut down and we had to detour around some dirt roads that were horrendous to say the least. We finally made it through but were way behind from where we wanted to be. We made it to Great Falls, Montana around 2:30. Based on this we needed to make a decision on whether to continue our drive into Canada or stop here for the night. Our concern was that it would be dark by the time we reached JB & Brenda’s ranch which I didn’t want to do. We could just continue on and stop somewhere when it got dark. Or we could just stop here in Great Falls and get an early start. We opted for staying here at Malmstrom Air Force Base campground. After we got setup I called JB to let him know that we had stopped for the day and would see them on Saturday afternoon.
We decided that since we are here let’s go by the commissary to pick up a few items. After we left there we went in search of Sam’s warehouse. We found it and decided to have a slice of pizza for dinner. We bought a few items and finally made it home around seven o’clock.
As we got lost (turned around) here we found the Black Eagle Falls. We really liked the way the water was flowing over the rocks.

This is the Dam
We should be in Canada today so stay tuned as our adventure continues.
Gina & I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed us with.
How was the wind in Great Falls? When we lived in Montana, every time we were in Great Falls, everyone including us had to lean into the wind to keep upright! But the Falls are beautiful -- heck, everything in Montana from Great Falls west is beautiful, and to the east, well there are interesting sights there too!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you finally got that slice of pizza. Travel safe you guys, we miss you.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog and have been following it for a while. We are also in Malmstrom AFB famcamp, but the one inside the base. So here is a "virtual" wave to you guys as you pass through Great Falls and on to Canada. Safe travels!
