Day 6 - Playing A Round in Great Falls

We pushed hard driving to Great Falls so we'd have time to play a round of golf in Great Falls.  The course was beautiful and one side of it bordered the Missouri Rvier.  Amazingly, neither of us lost a ball.
What can I say about Great Falls?  Yes, there are falls, but they aren't so great any more since the river was dammed for hydroelectric power.
Three more hours of driving thru Montana wide open spaces and we arrived at our destination for tonight - Duck Lake Lodge.  Quite primitive by our regular standards (shared toilet and shower down the hall), but compared to what we passed on the way, it's quite luxurious.  Keep in mind that we are in the middle of the Blackfeet Indian Territory.
Temps here are hot - 90s during the day, but at least it cools off at night and there is no humidity.
Tomorrow we enter Glacier National Park.  One of the other guests here just got in from a week-long backpack in the park and was sharing his pictures with us.  Looks great!
I had a couple of picture I was going to add, but the wi fi isn't letting me upload them.  Maybe tomorrow.
