There is not much that I can say about the trip we took down the Missouri River through 'The Gates of the Mountains' today, as I am still in awe.
If you are at all interested in the Lewis and Clark expedition (or even if you are not) this is a must do trip. The scenery is absolutely stunning and the history is essential. I saw more Bald Eagles than I could count on my fingers. Unfortunately, my digital camera doesn't do well with shots of wildlife. So I can't give y'all any pics of them.
I think that when I come back out next year, I'll be making this a multiple day trip. There are boat rentals and campgrounds along the river. And just for the Doc, I saw a 16in Rainbow Trout caught by a guy standing on a boat moorage dock. Sorry that the wife had the camera at the time, Doc, but it is probably for the better now.

Gates of the Mountains is awesome, isn't it?
We boated it when I was a kid, and I've driven by it scores of times. It's still awesome.
I'm really enjoying your vacation pics, AK. :)
