8-21-17 ( An 85% Eclipse of the Sun)


We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fort Peck Lake.  Yesterday, we pondered, should we stay or should we go?  We really enjoyed the Interpretive Center, got a lot of great info there, found out they were having an eclipse viewing, which by the way, we weren't interested in when we left home.

Sue, the specialist/manager has been very informative.  Any question we asked, she answered. If she didn't know, she researched.  It was a good place to be to view the eclipse. There were chairs and a canopy set up.  The center provided glasses.  When the eclipse was near it's peak, it got darker, cooler, and the Pelicans flew over to roost. It was a great crowd of people to watch the 85% totality.  As much as we loved this area, it was time to travel on.


We stopped at a busy Walmart in Havre, Montana.  The Walmart's in Montana are few and far between, compared to the South.  We were tired and were going to spend the night in the parking lot, but it was busy and noisy. We decided to move a little further and find a quieter place.

We are tired after only 204 miles of travel, boondocking at Fresno Reservoir, which is located a few miles out of Havre, Montana.   It is a quiet, pretty area.  There is one other camper here, but we haven't seen anybody there. We have another cool spot with a great view of the lake, for another whopping fee, (free)!!  You can't beat this.
