Missouri Headwaters - In Montana?

On Monday the 24th we made it to the Missouri Headwaters campground, which is actually a Montana state park just outside of Bozeman. When you're already having a hard time remembering where you are? Totally not helpful. That being said though, there was barely anyone there so it was quiet and pretty chill. After all the traveling and cities I think it's what we needed. We went on lots of walks, just exploring the area. If you can ever get there, I highly recommend it.

This is what life is supposed to be

During the day it was hot and muggy, and with no hookups, there's no a/c. Jason found Hudson laying on the tile floor, in his underwear, rubbing ice cubes on his stomach. When told it was time to go walk the dog, this was the 'mosquito-deterring-getup' that he came outside with. No idea where this melodramatic tendency comes from ;)

It's not even funny Mom

On Tuesday around dinner time, the host? ranger? dude-in-the-golf-cart, came by. There was a black bear just down the way where we had taken a walk the night before! We never saw or heard anything, but it was still kind of exciting to think we were so close to one.

The most breathtaking view I saw was on my morning walk with Emma. I really hate getting up so early with that silly girl, but I've got to say - it's generally so worth it.

Morning aren't all bad

A fun fact about the area is that this is where Colter's Run happened. I vaguely remember hearing about it as a kid, but now that we've been to the spot, maybe we'll see about renting one of the movies they made about. I'm sure they are historically accurate and paint the Blackfoot tribe in a positive light (that was sarcasm for those of you who weren't sure).
