Lewis and Clark Caverns

...to which Lewis and Clark never really traversed.

Just one of the many interesting facts that I learned last weekend!  Dale and I have all too late realized that summer is ending, and are trying to store up summer fun for the dreary winter months like so much blubber in a bear's belly.  This week it was a 6 hour drive north to Butte, MT to camp with the in-laws!

Dale's parents had just bought a new trailer and wanted to try it out, so they invited us to attend at a half-way point between us and them.  The total attendees included Dale, myself, Dallin (bro-in-law), Warren and Wendy.  5 people snug up in a trailer as wide as a street lane and about 20 feet long.  It ended up being a really good time. 

The camping ground was nestled in a stone quiet valley with a view of the stars like I haven't seen in years.  At Dale's encouragement, I saw three shooting stars just by staring into the same spot for two minutes at a time.  I had the presence of mind to make a wish on one of them.  (Grant my wish, Universe!!!)

We came on Friday night, toured the caverns on Saturday, and left after a Sunday morning hang out.  It was quite awesome.  Great food each day, an excuse to be outside in warm weather, and a campfire each night.
