Fort Whoop Up

Fort Benton RV Park

Fall on the Missouri River at Ft Benton

We set up camp and did a walking tour (with our bikes) of Fort Benton. It was interesting to see all the old buildings and read about the days when it was called "Fort Whoop Up". It is not hard to imagine the gunslingers and their "ladies" hanging in the streets and over balconies here.

Another Lewis & Clarke statue at Ft Benton

We are just going as far as Havre today. (We are truly avoiding crossing the border and going home!) We hadn't planned to be home until the 15th, so not not wanting to rush it. The change of plans to go to Yellowstone really threw a wrench in!

There is no internet at this campground, but some nearby neighbor has unsecured wireless. We will be leaving shortly!
