We spent the afternoon at the Museum of the Rockies. We walked through a 19th century home with reinactors playing the part by going about their daily business on the early Montana homestead. There were old ladies sewing quilts, spinning wool, others cooking in the kitchen or working outside. We were very impressed by their authenticity until the lady spinning noticed Amy’s Chicago t-shirt and started talking about her recent flight to Ohio. So much for 1893.
The museum is also the base for famed palaentologist Jack Horner. Lots of dinosaur bones that were discovered in Montana. Famed dinosaur digger or not, we're not so sure we buy the dino-mullet.
Now we’re gearing up to backpack the Spanish Peaks in Gallatin National Forest. The movie “A River Runs Through It” was filmed on the Gallatin River.
And now, from our campsite to yours, goodnight and good luck.
More in a couple days!!
Tonight's sunset:

bozeman almost sounds like . . . maybe dave will take me there!
My favorite photo of the day is the one where Bryan is emerging from the back of one dinosaur, facing the attacking second dinosaur.
It's sort of a reverse "Alien" movie moment.
