Quake Lake

We took the boys on a day trip to Montana. Our first stop was Quake Lake. Quake Lake was created after a massive earthquake in 1959 that killed 27 people when an entire mountain slid into a canyon, covering a popular campsite. The slide dammed the Madison River and formed the eerie lake.  Here are some pictures of the place:

I was cold & Jake was "burning up" so I borrowed his jacket. 
Wow. I'm borrowing my kids clothes now. Talk about a milestone. (Dixie, Jake & Caleb H)
