Great Falls, Montana

The city of Great Falls must have gotten its name from the amount of water falling from the sky.  It not only rained today, it poured and the temperatures stayed in the low 50s.  Because of the weather we cut our travels short and only went 43 miles from Fort Benton to Great Falls.  Because we were cold and wet we took the first motel we saw; very nice but a little expensive.  Because of the weather, we did not get out our cameras, read any historic markers, or stop to smell the roses.  Thus, we have no interesting things to share.  According to one man with whom we spoke, this area had 4 inches of rain last week and they are expecting 2 more inches today.  He further stated that this is the wettest spring that he can remember.  All of this does not bode well for our days to come.  However, the weather forecast shows emerging sunshine for the next several days.
