7/31/2016: Gallatin R., Moose Creek CG to Storm Castle (House Rock)

	With: Sheila Chapelle, Lee Belknap
	The House Rock section of the Gallatin was a little too difficult for a brand-new beginning kayaker, so Evan drove shuttle for us and then did another trail run, this time on the Hell Roaring Creek trail, the trailhead of which is conveniently across the road from the Storm Castle takeout. The three of us put on at the Greek Creek campground and had a good run of the best stretch of the Gallatin. Leaving, we detoured through downtown Bozeman to give Evan a feel for another outdoors-oriented university town (Evan lives in Flagstaff), then got onto I-90 westbound toward Missoula. We got off the highway briefly at Three Forks, Montana, where the Gallatin, Madison, and Jefferson rivers converge to form the Missouri River. We were aiming for the Russell Gates campground on the Blackfoot River, so we went 10 miles back eastward on US-12 to MT-141N at Avon. Initially we drove 1/4-mile past the MT-141 turnoff so we could eat dinner at the delightful Avon Family Café, then took MT-141 to MT-200E to Russell Gates, where there were no campsites available. I knew there were several campgrounds along MT-83 toward Seeley Lake, and we got the last spot in the first one we came to, Salmon Lake State Park CG.
