Comments on: For Some, Fort Peck Has It All http://gildartphoto.com/weblog/2010/07/15/for-some-fort-peck-has-it-all Glimpses From Bert & Jane Gildart's Travel Adventures Tue, 07 Feb 2012 03:12:02 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Bert http://gildartphoto.com/weblog/2010/07/15/for-some-fort-peck-has-it-all/comment-page-1#comment-59185 Bert Thu, 15 Jul 2010 23:52:03 +0000 http://gildartphoto.com/weblog/?p=6988#comment-59185 Interestingly, Tom, Janie and I just returned from an overlook detailing L&C Campsites. In 1804, about a mile or so upstream one of the members was chased by a g-bear. But even more astounding to me was their entry noting a moose sighting -- and so far from the Rockies. Am a fan of Ivan Doig but have never read the book you refer to. Am now looking forward to that experience! Thanks.

All that's missing from a Lewis & Clark experienced would be thousands of bison and a grizzly attack. Ian Doig, prolific Montana author wrote a great novel "Bucking The Sun" that captured the pain and spirit of people working on building the dam. You can taste the depression that birthed this great project and the sweat and cold and heart break of those who toiled on the site. Sandi and I look forward to revisiting this area in the next few months. BE SAFE ON THE ROAD. We love the CRWR, exploring that barely scratched land.
