Saturday road trip

     One Saturday in May of 2007 we wanted to see what the countryside looked like around Great Falls.
     We started by driving to Fort Benton and found a geocache at the overlook of the Missouri River just outside of town on the the highway.
     After a quick drive through Fort Benton we crossed the bridge over the Missouri and drove East.
     We drove past Geraldine and continued south past Square Butte where we took a side trip through Denton to see where a good friend from Idaho grew up.
     Along the highway near a creek we found a geocache and placed a travel bug for the next geocacher to find.
     A travel bug is an item that has a tag attached with a serial number that can be tracked on the geocaching website as it moves from cache to cache.
    Traveling south we came to Stanford where we turned back on to Highway 200 to head west back to Great Falls.
    There was a geocache on the roadside rest stop near Stanford and another next to Belt Creek at the Armington junction.
     The trip took us most of that Saturday and we saw a lot of different country along the way.
     Once we got home we logged back on to geocaching.com and logged 10 geocache finds.
