I don't know if he's on here but "foy" on the expeditionportal.com is a MT guru. He actually worked digging fossils years ago in eastern MT. I would try and get a hold of him for some really good Intel.That's great advice thank you, I would have kept going in the mud. The Stafford Ferry is on route but you can't have too many river crossings:) I'm really looking forward to the Wickes RR tunnel actually. The trip starts August 2nd, my wife's uncle fly's in from Long Island NY to Billings, I have to be in LA for the 13th August when he will return to NY. I'll post on my IG account first. colin underscore ritchie is where you will find me. Thanks once again for you great advice and local Intel. Colin
