7 - Week-end in Butte, MT

If you want to escape the hustling crowds, go to Butte, MT.   Just beware of family reunions!  We drove from half the world in Yellowstone to find ourselves in the middle of a family reunion just outside Butte. 

Paul finally decided if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.  He became quite attached to several  of these Montana native family members, esp. Dave, one-of-ten-siblings.  The mother (an 88-year-old) has about 109 descendants per her account.  What a wonderful family though.  They were truly special people.

Oh, forgot to say earlier.  Trees, particularly the bark and roots, are my thing!  I love the texture, the grab for the earth, the things they've seen!

Lonesome Dove?
