September 1, 2010

From Great Falls, MT, N47°29.386’ W111°19.942’

Day 90

It was a cold, windy and rainy/cloudy day to open September.

I went northeast to Fort Benton to pick up a few caches. The first was called River Crossing, it was near Carter Ferry, which was open today but not busy.

It was raining so a lot of the dirt road ended up on the Jeep. The cache itself was about a quarter mile of slick mud in heavy rain. I dashed for the cache during a lull and made it back to the Jeep just before the next squall. Interesting area, there was evidence of a lot of buildings and a large orchard, all dead trees now.
At the third cache I did west of US-87 it had not rained at all.

Back at the RV Park, Gerri fixed a great supper of beef enchiladas with a salad made with broccoli slaw, Rotel tomatoes, onions and cilantro.

It hadn’t rained much at the RV Park but was cold and blustery.

  1. The salad sounds yummy. I suspect that summer is truly over in Great Falls. It would be a good time to get out of there. :-)

  2. Alan, that salad was delicious. I bought a bag of that broccoli salad, added a can of Rotel, chopped onions, chopped cilantro, a little olive oil, a little vinegar and salt and pepper to taste, let it chill in the fridge for an hour before supper....will definitely make it again!!
