The Road to Butte

Today's drive was from Yellowstone Park to Butte, Montana.

We drove through beautiful valleys and over more mountain passes. Sometimes the road got pretty narrow.....

Neal was fascinated by the way they bail the hay. These bales are really big!
We stopped in a little town named Ennis, and it was a lovely down. They are doing painted rainbow trout...

We had a cup of coffee and a "to die for" cinnamon roll at Yesterday's Soda Fountain and Drug Store.



The chairs and table legs were all covered with different baby booties to protect the floor and help them slide.






When we got to Butte we went to see the Berkley Pit.
It is a very large mine that produced great amounts of copper during the Industrial Revolution. The mine has been started and stopped several times over the past 50 years. It is not being mined right now because the price of copper is low.
