2012 - Missouri Headwaters State Park, Three Forks, MT

A few years back I visited the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers down in St. Louis, MO.  I've even visited both Mississippi River headwaters at Lake Itasca and the mouth of the Mississippi River near Venice, LA.  Today I was able to visit the headwaters of the historic Missouri River located within Montana's Missouri Headwaters State Park.
