Worthy titles for this vacation would be "Retracing Lewis and Clark's route through North Dakota and Montana" or "Planes, trains, automobiles, and canoes"! I took a redeye flight to Minot, ND, then borrowed my brother's car to drive to Grafton for my 20th high school reunion and back, then we went on a Lewis and Clark roadtrip between Minot and Bismarck. Monday I took Amtrak to Havre, MT, where my folks picked me up for a four-day canoe trip down the famous Missouri Breaks Wild and Scenic section of the Missouri River. After that, Mom and I took a roadtrip to Great Falls, Glacier, Missoula, and back "home" to Butte, where Dad had fresh trout from the Big Hole waiting for us (yum). After a few days' recovery in Butte, my folks drove me to Helena for my flight back home to Oakland.
