Great Falls, Montana

Today we had to go to the RVer's most favorite place, "Wally World" to get Jerry's prescription filled. And of course she just had to do some shopping there.

On the way in town we passed a park where several Canadian Geese and their families lived. They had a large number of cute babies and I just had to stop and get a picture or two.

After finally leaving "Wally World" we drove to the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center. In 1805 Lewis and Clark came here and remained about one month while they portaged their canoes over land to by-pass the series of rapids that stretched for several miles on the Missouri River

The Great Falls area had long been inhabited by tribes of Native American Indians, mainly the Blackfeet, with herds of Buffalo, Antelope, Elk and Deer roaming the prairies. The Grizzly Bears and the Mountain Lion also hunted and roamed the area.
