Conrad to Browning

Making friends in Montana:

Day 14

Our next stop takes us to Browning, MT. A depressed center for the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. This is also the site of Lewis & Clark. The only Indian to die on the Lewis & Clark expedition happened here. After leaving, we went over a spectacular mountain pass. The remnants of burnt timber from a previous conflagration was visible for at least 20 miles. An awful sight.

After we pull into our camp site, we head out for a leisurely walk by the St Mary river. Now, you have to picture this, we are in an area of maybe 100 people in a 50 mile radius, and by the river we meet a guy from Salem, MA. Small world. Our next stop is to hit the outdoor hot tub with a spectacular mountain view to relax our minds. A couple is in there ahead of us. So we tell them of our adventure and they proceed to trump us. They are at the end stage of a 10,000 mile trip over part of the world. We thought we were doing something.
