Barb - We found another neat drive for the Jeep (and us and the dog)! Drove a fairly circuitous route on Hwy 1 (Montana, not California - yet!) to the towns of Anaconda, Philipsburg, and the ghost mining town of Granite. Anaconda was a big copper-producing hub, Philipsburg was a sapphire and gem town, and Granite had the richest silver mine on earth. We enjoyed poking around these places and enjoying the homemade fudge from The Sweet Palace in Philipsburg.
Ike's newest bird to track here is the killdeer - they love to peep and taunt him!
Ed -Today was overcast and about 70 degrees with some wind. A great day to travel by car to the mountains. We stopped by some buildings erected in the late 1880's in Anaconda and then headed out on highway 1 to Philipsburg. I had hoped to get to the Gem Mine and look for some pretty stones but we just ran out of time. Anyway it was a pretty drive through the mountains and took about 6 hours total.
