Butte, MT

We are here, just ahead of the afternoon thunderstorms. We excited the plane hoping it would be cooler, but it wasn't. We are 1104 miles from home as the crow flies and still have not found cooler temps...

Randy and Dad just left to walk around Butte, I'm sorry for them because there isn't much to see. Butte has this huge hole, that was once a copper mine and is now full of water and over 1800' deep. It is now a superfund sight that is set up to retain the 36 billion gallons of toxic water it holds. You can now walk out and look down in the hole (we think if you tossed something in water it would begin to boil)

Tonight we will try to get into the "Lamplighter" where they serve huge prime ribs (the smallest is 10oz).

More later...
