Almost to Yellowstone

We arrived at the last stop before Yellowstone! Missouri Headwaters State Park. This park encompasses the confluence of the Jefferson, Madison and Gallatin Rivers. The Lewis and Clark Expedition anticipated this important headwaters all the way up the Missouri River in 1804 and 1805. We stayed at a "dry" camp, we had only one other camper in the park. The weather was dry and we found a nice site under some trees. The site backed to a large feild and Dawson and Megan went exploring. We took the car down the the "Three Forks" and went for a walk. The River was Crystal clear and cool. Dawson, Dave and Megan went swimming in this historic River. Later that night, Dave took the kids for a walk down a trail. They all came running back, after turning a corner, a swarm of Mosquitos! The "fun" thing on the hike was the "bunnies" they saw.

Heading to Yellowstone in the morning!
