What's in a name?

So many places I have been to have these grand sounding names, that make you wonder.. why?
So here I am in "Great Falls".. why that name? Lewis and Clark actually went 20 miles out of their way to avoid it. So we will start in reverse order as compaired to how L&C found the place.
This is the last of the falls that L&C found. It is called Black Eagle Falls, which is in the city limits. The light is wrong here but the rocks are quite large.
A mere 4.8 miles down river is Rainbow Falls
Less than a half mile from Rainbow, is Crooked Falls.
Finally you have what Lewis in Clark found and forced them to portage 20 miles... The Great Falls of the Missouri River.
This is where I live

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.
