Farm Island State Recreation Area September, 29,

Right on the Missouri River.

We’re in shoulder season; not many people here.

We’re on an arm of the Missouri River.

The water seems high for this time of year.  I thought flooding was supposed to happen in the Spring.

Excellent trails.

This is the Missouri River.

And, after all these days of rain, a little fire in the sky.

Diving slow and steady September, 28,

Through the wind and rain.  (Nothing freezing; we’re staying ahead of that.  It’s currently snowing and in the twenties in Bozeman, where we were a couple days ago.)

Eventually clearing.

And we could see the cattle.

Hay.

Sorghum.  Corn.  (No photos.)

And sunflowers.

Tonight’s camp.

The water in the lake behind us seems a little high.

Along the way

 

 

No trespooping.

 

 

 

Western Montana extends all the way to Billings.  Then the topography gets less forested and more rolling grassland.

 

Glorious in its own right.

 

 

Now we’re at 7th Camp Ranch RV Park.  It’s all by itself on a hillside.

 

The Montana part of the trip map

 

The RV camp is located close to the Little Bighorn River, and is named in reference to Custer’s 7th Cavalry.  It’s a convenient home-base for exploring the sites and history of Custer’s Last Stand.  We did that last time we were here, in 2012.  This time we’re just passing through.
