A Camping Trip

We left home Thursday morning headed for Fort Peck Lake and Hell Creek State Park.  We endured only one area of this about 45 miles from home:

Pretty good for summer in Montana!

After Harlowtown and Lewistown we were in the area of Montana called the Missouri Breaks—rugged, vast, desolate land.

Lonn and LoraLee arrived a couple hours ahead of us and had scouted out two side by side spots.  We felt extremely lucky to find a campsite on a lake in Montana on a holiday weekend!  But wait, I haven’t mentioned the road going into Hells Creek State Park—25, yes you read that right, 25 miles of gravel road!!!!  Not a great road but not a horrible bone crunching one either—just not a place we will likely take the motorhome again.

It was a fun weekend, Katie, our granddaughter and her husband Michael joined us Friday evening.  We did a little hiking, a little boating, a little fishing and a whole lot of visiting and eating.  We ate very well to say the least!  But unfortunately, we didn’t eat any fish! 

Fort Peck wildlife.

Katie and Michael tried out our kayak—I think they’ve got the hang of it!

We left Hells Creek around 1pm and arrived at home about 8pm—an uneventful trip.  Thanks Lonn and LoraLee for asking us along!
