I started the day at Cove Creek Hot Springs. I ended the day at forest roadside.

Here is a short description of the day:

lotsa history - ghost towns, battlefields - lotsa big wide valleys
Nez Perce country, Big Hole Battlefield, excellent Bannack State Park

Here is a short description of the evening:

Drove 5 of the 7 miles to Mill Creek Campground when the road got too nasty for my tall, skinny van. I backed down to the pullout at the cow guard and fence at the edge of the NF. There was plenty of room to park, so I just stayed. Turns out there was a really active and loud creek right across the road, and a waxing gibbous moon, and very little traffic, so it turned out to be a great way to weather a crowded Saturday night!

Story for today: Montana.
