Helena, Montana Sun Sets & Meriwether Fire

 

Helena, Montana Sun Sets & Meriwether Fire

July 24, 2007.

We are staying in Lincoln Road RV-Park Helena, Montana less than a mile west of I-15 at exit 200. Lincoln Road RV-Park is about 10-miles north of downtown Helena but in a very good position access everything in the area. $25.04 with Good Sam discount plus-taxes for FHU in nice gravel pull thru sites with some shade. Free wifi was available but no cable TV.

Joyce took this picture of the Meriwether Fire the afternoon before we took a boat ride and experienced the fire up close and personal.

The Meriwether Fire was with us our entire visit in Helena. It was located north of Helena along a rugged stretch of the Snake River know as Gates to the Mountains.

This horse almost launched a Montana cowboy into the spectators seats. At least it looks like the cowboy will land on his feet. We gave him a few "style-points" for this dismount.

Is dismount a word? If not I just invented it.

Near the end of the rodeo each night the Budweiser Clydesdales would trot into the arena and put on a show. They are fun to watch and are such pretty animals. We stopped by to look at the Clydesdales after the show one night and talked with some of the handlers. The largest horse in the group weighs 1,250 pounds. From Helena they are going to Sturgis, South Dakota for bike week. They all seemed to be looking forward to that.
