We got up early and had everyone out the door in the dark. It is about 2.5 hours to the take out point where we would leave the old Ford and then another 45 minutes or so to drive around to the put-in spot. I wanted to be on the river fairly early so we had plenty of time to set up camp and do a little scouting.

A quick stop on our way through Great Falls for some ice and we were on our way...

There are worse ways to start a day then driving through the Judith Basin...

Unless you are this poor sucker that is probably looking for a new job and a clean pair of underwear...

A top off in Lewistown before heading to the river. I love fueling up two 3/4 ton pickups. Let's go Brandon!

We made our way to the put-in spot with no issue and quickly had everything loaded and ready for launch. It was really nice having an older kid around that could see what needed to be done and just did it without needing to be asked. Kinda sucks that they leave the house so quick after you finally get them trained smile

Ready to push off...
