It was raining this morning so we couldn't go hiking; we drove to Fort Benton instead. Once we got there, we didn't feel like staying and visiting the museums. We decided on the spur of the moment to drive a little further to find Maria's River, which was supposedly nearby, and which Meriwether Lewis named after his cousin. When we found Maria's River we also found Decision Point, where Lewis, Clark, and their company camped for 10 days while deciding which direction to go.

It was raining the whole time we were at Decision Point, but it was wonderful to be there. (And I was grateful for my waterproof camera.)
