Trip Two Day 4: 41 miles 157 total.

Cells finally cleared an hour before sunset headed towards L&C Caverns. OMG I’ve been stopping to take photos all day and then the Jefferson River Canton turns out to be off the scale too, right after you ride past where L&C shot two elk in 1805 and where Father DeSmet celebrated Mass with the Salishe Indians in 1840.

Campground was full, worked out a deal with a family from Tennessee where I bought the beer in return for sharing the campsite.

1:30am, everyone sleeping, beautiful moonlit night, poorwill calling from across the canyon.

Long as we don’t get hit by a war party we’re good. Do the Blackfeet fight at night? I forget.
