montana trip part 4

[nor-cal yote]

still on the road, getting closer


finally back home!

just north of Butte

just south of Helena where my folks live. I made it safe and sound, visited with the folks for a day then headed to camp. We saw a few elk the first two days but with no snow on the ground hard to sneak up on them, everything was crunchy.

Did you see the open mine?  Of course you have.  One MAJOR hole isn't it?

[Bluesman]

Pretty sure Anderson is a Nebraska boy.

Yep, Butte Nebraska.

Notice the difference in the clouds in those pics.  The one photo in particular shows that "black carpet" cloud.  I saw that on my trip to Wyoming.  It was sunny in Cheyenne.  As I inched along westward on I-80 the wind picked up to 35 mph.  By the time I passed through Laramie, one of those black carpets rolled out across the sky.  Ten minutes later I was in a whiteout.  Y'all have some freaky, freaky weather out there.  I learned the hard way.

Thanks for posting record of your trip.  It's really enjoyable to read about.
