We began the day with a breakfast burrito at where else-the Burrito Brothers!-after which we hit the road once more with no destination in mind.
We ended the day at the Lewis & Clark Caverns SP in Whitehall, MT. It was a gorgeous park as you'll see below. Along the way we bought some fresh cherries at a roadside stand, the fruit has been amazing since the start of our trip. We also drove through more smoke, uggh. I'm not sure if you can see the smoke in this photo, but check out the barely visible mountains in the background.
The park was truly gorgeous, very remote, set within a wheat filled valley ringed by mountains, and home to one of the nations most extensive caverns. It was quiet, and pitch black at night. We even met some fellow Hoosiers, a young couple from Lafayette-she a Purdue employee, he a contractor.
Kari once more cooked a fabulous meal, (during the pandemic I was the luckiest shut-in I knew). Lamb, lettuce, tzatziki, tomatoes, pita etc, all from the farmers market.
We ended the night watching the Miles Davis "Birth of the Cool" documentary, check it out on Netflix. It's a fun look at one of our unique national treasures. He was a cool cat, we were lucky to see him at the Newport Jazz Festival years ago.
Truly a successful day...
