ZATC D6.2: Butte's a Beaut!

Montana sure is pretty. Makes me want to come back here sometime when I don't have to zoom. It also makes me wonder what I could learn about Washington by exploring it more.

What is probably the worst squall I've driven through happened when we were going through Bozeman Pass. It was more exciting than I want a simple highway cruise to be. Oh, AND the road was down to one lane in each direction. Nobody tried to pass me, at least. And there was something that suspiciously looked like ice or snow on the shoulder at the high point.

Down from the pass and into Butte, the weather cleared, but we could see heavy clouds in front of us. So we decided to call it a night.

Now we're off. Some cute girl owes me a steak dinner. ;>

It's fun to think of you as you're travelling through my home state. Say hello to Missoula for me, and hold your nose when you drive past the paper plant. (haha)

Best of wishes and congratulations on your newest adventure. . .both of you!

If Moses opposes the holding of noses, Moses opposes erroneously.

Um.

Thanks for the tip re the paper plant.

Coincidence? Some say not.


Just kidding. Thanks!

LOL goof! your welcome! Give Montana a kiss for me. I love my brother but oy, he has been seduced by that state. He rarely comes back to Chicago these days...

I can sure understand why. I wish we had Roadside Geology of Montana (which I'm sure there is one).

Roadside Geology? What is it? Never heard of it...

Roadside Geology of (state name) is a series of books explaining the geology of a region you can see from the roadways. I have the one for Washington State, it covers not only the interstates but a number of the major state roads, too. They're lots of fun.
