River on an almost-spring afternoon, w/pics
A tall man says howdy from the bluffs near his parking place as he set out on a six-mile loop along the Missouri River within 90 minutes of sunset. Lovely light, nice squalls in the area. I think the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center is visible in this. I'll edit this comment out if it isn't.
This is the Missouri River just above Giant Springs and the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center, where today's run started and finished.
Here's some nice winter light on Rainbow falls and dam, from the River's Edge Trail's high point.
Here's the almost completed cat tower, or "Kitty City," as the girls call it. The "nest" on the top is just balanced there for the pic. It'll have its own platform by tomorrow night.
Today's run, after a weird night that didn't see us sleeping until 2 a.m., a volleyball game at 10 a.m. and almost three hours in the office, took me on a new (for me) loop from one of the parking areas above Giant Springs and the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center, along the trail to a high point east of the Rainbow Falls overlook, thence south toward Malmstrom Air Force Base and back on an old county road to the GS Road and my parking place.
I don't know the distance exactly, but I'd put it within half a mile of 6, so there you go.
One of those borderline spring/winter days: 45 degrees, squalls everywhere, mud down here and snow up high, and about a 45 mph wind from the west. Loved every minute of it. Saw lots of dog walkers on the low trail below the L&CIC.
