David did not want to travel any farther west, so he headed back to spend a few days in Cody, which he had missed because of car trouble, before driving home to Florida.
The remaining ten of us left early for the three-and-a-half hour drive via US-191 and I-94 to Ekstrom's Stage Stop, just off I-94 about twenty miles east of Missoula, Montana.
After claiming campsites at Ekstrom's we paddled Rock Creek. Rock Creek is rather tame, but the quarter-mile long Dalles section is nice technical Class II, and we got to see a black bear running from us along the bank.
That night we ate in Ekstrom's wonderful restaurant where we all chipped in for a birthday-pie (they had no cake) to celebrate Craig's birthday.
