We stopped in Butte, MT to take a tour of the town, including the now water-filled and abandoned open pit mine, practically in the center of town, called the Berkeley Pit. It's a very wild-west feeling city in some ways, evidently with a much smaller population now than before. It's not on my fantasy retirement for a year list.
Next time, on to Yellowstone!
I wish I'd known you were in Montana! Let me know if you're ever back my way.
