The River

Dad and I both agree that this was our favorite camping spot. It's right on the Missouri River at Judith Landing in Montana. There was a warm afternoon summer storm (typical for this time of year) that created a spectacular cloud display at sundown.

Lewis and Clark passed through this area. In fact, the Judith River was named for William Clark's future wife. There was another honoree when the expedition was here. Meriwether Lewis writes in his May 29, 1805 journal entry that his dog, Seaman, was responsible for scaring off an aggressive bison. Consequently, Lewis named a tributary "Dog Creek."

Good boy!
