Great Falls Montana

Our scheduled rally for the Beaver Ambassador Club begins and we are the rally masters.  This means that other people that own a Beaver motor home, as we do, get together to explore an area and have fun/food together.  We had planned for 20 coaches and 7 officially attend.  I was initially bummed that we had such a small number but it all worked out for a great time and great way to get to know other couples.  We dined at a local restaurant, The Montana Club.  Had a wonderful time in their banquet room.  We toured the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center showing the history of Lewis & Clark discovering the Great Falls area and their travels with Sacagawea (sp?). Just down the road is the Fish Hatchery and the Roe River (Guinness Book of World Record, shortest river).  Beautiful area with magnificent falls and drives to get there.  We picnicked in the park by the Great Falls/Ryan Dam and even walked on the swinging bridge.  Did I say how much I don't like heights let alone, moving heights??  But I made it unscathed!!!  Last we had a Historic Trolley Tour of Great Falls and got lots of information on the beginnings and current history of Great Falls.  Huckleberry Capital and we enjoyed jams, syrups, chocolates, and candy all in Huckleberry flavor. Mmmmm.  We stayed at Dick's RV Resort in Great Falls.  It's like a great campground that suddenly had a city build up around it.  Yes, there are planes and trains and traffic, but great sites and great staff.  We used their meeting room for get together and really enjoyed the stay.   6 coaches continued onto our next rally near Calgary and across the Canadian border. No troubles at the Sweetgrass Montana crossing for all 6!
