Day two of our trip started early with a swim and then we were on the road. We stopped in Butte for lunch and just in time for a motorcycle rally and farmer's market. We had lunch at this place where all the locals hung out, it was excellent people watching!
The town looks like it was at its high point during the gold rush but unfortunately has gone downhill from there. Literally in some places!
Next, we drove through the rest of Montana. It was so much more dynamic in my head but the people are incredibly nice. We had a delicious Italian dinner (thanks to Allison and Gregg for navigating from Portland) for Sophie's birthday dinner in downtown Billings.
We tried to get directions from a young girl at Taco John's but she had to keep looking at her hands to tell the difference between left and right and I had to keep help her finding where we were on the map we were looking at! She was a sweetie but a bit directionally impaired!
Adeline thought Montana was titillating.
Wyoming is a bit greener but the population matches what we have in Portland! But, we saw deer, prairie dogs, foxes, coyotes, and some other interesting things - both dead and alive.
Today, we drive to Lincoln and the lady at our hotel said, "I did that drive once. Have fun." It was quite dry the way she said it. Here is the moon in Wyoming, it was absolutely beautiful!
Hopefully you won't miss the world's biggest porch swing...it's in Hebron, NE.....it might be the highlight of your day....just call us if you need directions!
ReplyDeleteIt has been fun enjoying your trip and all the sights. Mickey and Bailey love camp in Amboy. They are making a lot of friends. We are taking Abby out there tomorrow to visit them! Enjoy your trip. We miss all of you! Sunday dinner just won't be the same without all of you here to join us. Love and kisses, Mom
