Three Forks





We spent all of Day #25 on Interstate 94 between Columbia (Montana) and Spokane (Washington). There was a definite sense of being almost home and Dad is much more willing to stick to the main road.

Three Forks is the site of a neat old hotel (The Sacajawea) where I have vague memories of stoppping (though not staying) with my family on trips when I was a kid. Three Forks is also where the Madison, Gallatin, and Jefferson Rivers combine to become the Missouri. I guess it's to the Missouri what Pittsburgh is to the Ohio. There is a state park at the confluence with signs describing Lewis and Clark's exploration of the site in 1805.
