Last day here in Colorado for a while. Finished packing for the canoe trip this afternoon and then got the gear and canoe loaded onto and into the van this evening. We will be taking two vehicles this time "since" there are only two of us going. We'll drop my truck off at the take out at Robinson's Bridge, (Kipp State Park), on the Missouri River and then take the van on into Fort Benton Montana where we will put in on Wednesday morning. Would rather not take two vehicles of course, but you do need a way to get back to the put in once the trip is over and walking the 150+ miles back isn't much of an option. In the past we have hired a shuttle service out of Fort Benton to run it for us, but this year they wanted $300 bucks plus gas money. So we will just do it ourselves this time. It's a good thing we both like to drive because it will be a 14-16 hour day tomorrow.

   We did take some time off this afternoon to go meet George for a 'boys night out movie'. We saw the film 'Savages' about a Mexican drug cartel trying to move in on some pot growers in southern California. A very interesting film really, with several well known actors and actresses in it, but extremely violent during most of it. Nice to see George again of course and always fun going over to eat afterwards. Pretty much everyone knows us over at Red Robin now, from the waitress, Emily, on up to the manager, Nick, so we just walk in and our drinks and food magically appears without us even looking at a menu anymore.

   Raining again here this evening and it is really cooling things down. It sounds nice in the leaves outside and once in a while you can hear some distant thunder. Need to get some sleep though, it will be a long, long day tomorrow. Won't be doing any up dates on the blog until we get back next Thursday or Friday as I don't plan on taking the lap top with me. Hope all of you are doing well and  that you will check in again about 10 days from now. I know I'll have a ton of photo's to go through by that time. Bye!
