Great Falls Montana to Geraldine Montana. 84 miles. 1043 miles from the Pacific. I had dinner last night with my biking friend Jim and then I went to the mermaid show. it was rated G. something I’ve never seen before are mermaids swimming in a bar. just when you think you’ve seen everything. today was a good day. lots of big roller coaster hills. And that other mountain range i didn’t see on the map. lots of pretty yellow, purple, lavender, and pink wild flowers. I saw several deer along the road and in the hills. I had lunch in Fort Benton and took a quick nap at the town park along the Missouri River. it’s a pretty little town with nice people. I’ve had a chance to see many nice towns. Portland, wala wala, and Missoula were my favorites. But there was nothing great about Great Falls. I am camping at the city park in Geraldine Montana tonight. population 68 ish.
thanks again for the blog comments. Take care – from big sky country

I could not resist posting a railroad reference in honor of brother Jim’s birthday today.
From Wikipedia: The Milwaukee Road built a branch line from Harlowton, Montana to Great Falls, MT in 1916. The town of Geraldine was named for the wife of one of the railroad executives (aside from me: a Rockefeller, of course). The depot was built in 1916 and has been restored. It is a Montana Historic Site and on the National Register of Historic Places. The Central Montana Rail runs a tourist train from Lewistown to Geraldine in the summer and passengers get to tour the restored depot.
