Today was another truckin' and travelin' day; however...Idaho and Montanna's scenery got in our way!  We just had to take the time to check out the amazing vistas as we traveled on I-90, US Highway 12, and I-15 to our new basecamp at Great Falls, Montana.  There is so much beauty to be found here that as you turn each corner another breathtaking sight appears.  We also had the wonderful experience of driving alongside the Clark Fork River (named for William Clark by Meriwether Lewis), as well as the Missouri River, which of course was the route that Lewis & Clark took west.  History abounds here, and we can't wait to learn even more as we explore this beautiful land.
