Pompey's Pillars

After a maintainence morning of truck and trailer cleaning and laundry, we headed north to view a place called Pompey's Pillar, the only known evidence that William Clark left in this area of his exploration. He named it for the child of a french fur trader and Sacagawea, the Indian translator who helped the Expedition of Discovery along. He was quite fond of the boy and had him travel in the same boat when possible. Recent rainfall and continued mountain snow melts have local streams and rivers at near flood stage. It has also led to a very green look everywhere, which I believe is normally more tan or brown. The area receives less than 20" annual rainfall.
To get where we were going, we took a road which was unpaved for about half the way and really out in the middle of nowhere. Beef country. It made us very hungry for steak, so we went into Billings, Mont., and wandered around town. It's quite an industrial looking area with coal and gas produced in the area, but the down town area was quite nice. Jake's claimed to be the steak place to be, so we went. It was very good.
By the way, we have received a number of comments posted back. We really enjoy the feedback, so don't be shy. It can't be hard to do.
