Leaving the Mountains

We left Missouri Headwaters at mid morning as we had a short drive planned.

East through Bozeman again and then more east. About 20 miles east of Bozeman the road starts to descend and the country starts to level out. Mountains give way to wide green valleys which give way to the vast flatness that is the eastern half of Montana. About 12:30 we pulled into a nice city park in Columbus, MT. Large park right on the banks of the Yellowstone River. We were not the only ones to find this spot. Just about every spot was taken. Some spots had several Rvs in them as there was a RV club apparently from Texas camped there. Looked like half of Texas was staying in that park. We did find a site and then took a walk to visit the river. Lazy afternoon.

Style of canoe used Lewis and Clark in parts of their expedition
