WEEKEND 6



Saturday morning I cooked a huge breakfast with some friends. We bummed around and eventually got a group together to go to the Lewis and Clark Caverns in the Tobacco Roots. 7 of us went on a guided tour through the huge caverns. It was 50 degress inside so it was a nice way to spend a 100+ day. The formations inside were pretty spectacular too.

After that, the group headed to Cardwell where Drew's dad has an old ranch house. A lot of our other friends met us out there in the Tobacco Roots. We made frozen pizzas and camped out in the yard. I am going to miss my friends so much... I don't want to leave!

Sunday was a designated swimming day. First, we had breakfast in Whitehall. Then, we went down to the Jefferson River and jumped off of big cement blocks that are left over from the old bridge. The river was kind of nasty... just mossy and not as pristine as what we're now used to. It reminded me much more of the rivers back home! Because of this, we decided to move on to the Gallatin River between 4 Corners and Big Sky. There's a spot called "The Whirlpool" about 1/2 mile upstream from a popular swimming area. We hiked down there and jumped in the river. It's literally a whirpool. The current takes shoots you out about 30 feet and then brings you back around. If you wanted, you could swim in circles all day. It was so much fun! We went out for Mexican food for dinner. Yum...
