Along the Mighty Mo

The Missouri River defines much of the landscape where I live.  Yesterday, I drove the frontage road back from a meeting in Great Falls so I could stop at a few favorite places and admire the “Mighty Mo,” as the river is sometimes called.  Though the trees and grasses in our north country are only now fringing with green, the sun stood high and warmed my face at each place where I stopped to get out of my car.  I have posted a couple of photographs taken where the Great Plains, the Missouri River, and the Rocky Mountains meet under the sun for the very first time.
