We went out for a drive to Townsend, MT to have breakfast, then explored the town and nearby areas. It was lovely to see the snowcapped mountains.

On Thursday, October 20 Dustin and Erwin left Three Forks to camp out in Gardiner, MT two days ahead of the official hunting season that starts on Saturday, the 22nd of October. Dustin took his 5th wheel trailer along, so the boys have a place to stay in when they are not hunting. After three days of camping they came back home empty-handed.

Erwin wanted to hunt at Willow Creek area, not too far from Three Forks, MT. The area he hiked on belongs to the State of Montana and hunting was allowed. Edith decided to accompany him to take pictures of Erwin's trek. We arrived perhaps half an hour before the sunrise. The colors were beautiful and striking. It was a good long walk and we got plenty of exercises. Although we saw hoof prints on the ground we did not see any nearby. We saw few way over there on a private property. Do the deer know they are on private properties where they are safe? We were not sure, but thought we may have hiked over 2 miles.

Once in a while Edith would go for a drive to Willow Creek area where there are few ponds. The last time she went by one of the ponds there were trumpeter swans. There were lots of mallards and Canadian geese.
