I will begin at Glendive, go to 7 sisters and Sydney and go back down the river to Fallon and Forsyth. After that I will go to Ruby Reservoir and play for a little while. From there it is on to ID to hit some fluorite in Challis and some agate and amethyst off the Salmon River. From there I head to a spot where there are trilobites and head back to MT to hit a few other more minor spots before heading home.

Nice. We're leaving on the 20th (well before the sun comes up) and returning late on the 23rd. I think I want to do your trip instead...

Had to fix the title because I forgot about the days I didn't give back.

Well, this is it. After work I pull out. Everything is ready and I am on my way. Weather be damned.
I won't be on until I hit WiFi somewhere. Probably not for a few days I imagine.

Well, I am back home. The weather sucked and I still filled the truck.
BTW. Challis ID has been reclaimed with extreme prejudice. They even put a pile of boulders on top of the formation where it would be impossible to get hurt, just to keep anyone from getting anything.

Pics will be coming. I also found a spot where Helen Keller could find top class plant fossils.
I am still unloading and trying to find stuff.
It is cold here and I just have no ambition.
Plus I am so damned tired still.
9 hours just wasn't enough.
