The Missouri River
We are camped tonight in James Kipp Recreation Area, a BLM site in Montana along the Missouri River and Highway 191. There are about thirty campsites here, and it is reasonably busy, perhaps 1/3 full, which is interesting, as it is also quite chilly. I assume the people here are probably hunting, as the sign near the registration booth said mule deer season ends on November 11.The temperature is very close to freezing, and sometime in the past few days it has snowed in the hills. There is no snow here, but there was on the low mountains which we drove by. We will have to drain our water tank and will winterize the trailer tomorrow before we leave.This will be our last day in the US. Tomorrow we will cross the border close to Val Marie. The highway here is quite good, a two lane road with not a great deal of traffic. It doesn’t have a very wide shoulder, but the pavement is reasonably good. There also aren’t a lot of towns or gas stations. We filled up in Roundup, Montana, saw a gas station in Grass Range, and the next one will be in Malta, about another 100 km along the road.
