I got lots of exercise in Montana today! Not only did I do my usual walk, but I also got in the water and paddled around on my River Rat! It was so fun, but my shoulders are a little sore this evening.
Photo Description:
1) Clark Canyon Reservoir is popular with boaters.
2) The reservoir is surrounded by lovely mountains.
3) Native Americans used smoothstem blazingstar (Mentzelia laevicaulis) for quite a few medicinal purposes. The roots were used to treat earaches, arthritis, mumps, measles, smallpox and to reduce fevers. They even chewed the roots to prevent thirst.
4) There are lots of beaches all along the water's edge.
5) Today I got in the water and paddled around on my River Rat until my shoulders were sore.
