In June, 2009 I returned to Montana for the third straight
year. This time I would be floating down the Missouri River,
through the Upper Missouri Breaks National Monument. I chose
to go with River Odysseys West out of Couer d'Alene Idaho,www.ROWadventures.com.
From June 21-25 we paddled and floated 60 miles of the Missouri
Breaks from put in at Coal Banks Landing to take out at McClelland
Ferry. Our "corps" traveled in a 34 foot replica
of a fur trader voyageur canoe plus two 17 foot 2 person canoes.
Five excellent guides and a local Lewis and Clark expert made
life exciting and easy for us. Of course we took the easy
way - floating down river with the current. However, you will
view the as Lewis & Clark did - east to west.
