My Three Sons: Utah and back

The kids don't get to see their cousins very often so this year we decided to go visit. Originally we planned on going north to Spirit River but about 45 minutes from home the rain started and it was to rain the whole time we were to be gone. We turned around, drove home, grabbed our passports and went to Utah instead. We were late starting with our detour to Brooks first but we pushed through with the boys watching lots of movies. We drove to Camp Fortunate, MT (near Dillon) at Clark Canyon Reservoir. Camp Fortunate dates back to Lewis & Clark days.

These are quotes I found about the camp:

August 17, 1805

"I had not proceeded on one mile before I saw at a distance Several Indians on horseback Comeing towards me. The Intertrepeter & Squar who were before me at Some distance danced for the joyful sight, and She made signs to me that they were her nation, as I aproached nearer them descovered one of Capt Lewis party; the met me with great signs of joy... those Indians sung all the way to their Camp... Three Chiefs with Capt. Lewis met me with great cordialliaty embraced and took a Seat on a white robe, the Main Chief imedeately tied to my hair Six Small pieces of Shells resembling perl which is highly Valued by those people"
Captain Clark

" Shortly after Capt. Clark arrived with the Interpreter Charbono, and the Indian woman, who proved to be sister of the Chif Cameahwait. the meeting of those people was really affecting, particularly between Sah cah - gar-we-ah and an Indian woman, who had been taken prisoner at the same time with her, and who had afterwards escaped from the Minnetares and rejoined her nation ... we now formed our camp" (Camp Fortunate)
Captain Lewis
