These are falls (and dams) on the Missouri River near Great Falls, MT. They are further downstream than the falls I visited in March. Lindsay – thanks for taking us to them. I believe these were the first of 5 separate falls faced by the Lewis and Clark Expedition. They are roughly 96 feet high.

I find it hard to believe it has been 40 years since I was sitting at home watching Neil Armstrong take his first steps on the moon. I recall tape recording Walter Cronkite’s commentary. Should still have the tapes somewhere (wonder if they are still viable). What was previously science fiction became reality. It is also hard to believe how much has happened since that time. We do live in a marvelous age. I never cease to be amazed at the possibilities af science and technology. So many lives have been improved and enriched through these advances.
