Great Falls, Montana

Today we had to go to Wal-Mart to get Jerry's prescription filled and of course she had to do some shopping as well.

On the way to town we passed a park where 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 or three.

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 Mountain Lions also roamed the area.

If you're ever in the Great Falls area you must see the many water falls and of course the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.
