View topic - Lower Milk River

We paddled from Groton Bridge to the US border in late June. Any later and water levels would be a bit suspect.

Gee, I like that! You captured the stuff that makes the trip so different from what I am used to here in Ontario. I am itching to check that out some time in the future, just gotta make sure my better half doesn't see some of these pics...

Interesting , greatly appreciated. Nice piece of snake ....

What is the mud ball like structure?

Looks to be very green still

Doesn't look like any rattlesnakes in the pics. Did you see any?

Do you mean Coffin bridge?

thanks for sharing

It was a great trip.

As for the mud ball - it was a large round rock with really odd cracks, they were quite common.

And as for rattlers, if you look closely at photo 115 there is one under the grass. I need to add better captions to those photos still.

This is old stuff, formed within the shales. Take a look at http://geology.cwru.edu/~huwig/catalog/ ... .%20.1.jpg

The cracks are a result of weathering once these concretions were exposed.

Hey Whitebark, Thank you very much for the pictures! Incredible!

Can't wait to do the Milk R.

Thanks! Most folks do the Milk River (town) to Writing on Stone - that trip is logistically easier compared with the route we took; but I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to experience the wild prairie.

Very different landscape from what I am used to, enjoyed it very much.
