Ack! Try wait! I forgot to download the video as we crossed into Montana. So here it is:

Leaving Lobo Loop area in St. Regis, we continued heading east. This was all new territory for us, and it was so much fun to be the “Corps of Discovery” on this trip. This was our third trip to Montana, and we wanted to go a different way each time. We’ve left Interstate 90 and are now on Highway 135.

We catch our first glimpse of the Clark Fork River in the distance.

Anden were right next to it! The Clark Fork, or the Clark Fork of the Columbia River, is a river in the U.S. states of Montana and Idaho, approximately 310 miles long. It is named after William Clark of the 1806 Lewis and Clark Expedition. William Clark is one of my ancestors on my paternal grandma’s side.

Try look how the power lines cut right through the forest.

More river views.

It was great to have pull-outs where we could stop and enjoy the views. Too bad a train wasn’t coming along right then! That would’ve been perfection!

We saw this bridge over the river; I’m pretty sure it was this one (where the arrow is).

This looked like a great place for a picnic. Or: I would’ve loved to sit here with my spinning wheel for awhile and spin some yarn!

Then we drove right underneath the bridge we’d seen.

And we saw these fishermen right down below us. So of course, we stopped to wave to them.

We even took a video!
