Beginnings of Our Adventures

We left home about two O'Clock on Monday the 5th of July after having a great 4th of July.  We stopped and saw Patsy's sister at Inkom Idaho and them on to Dubois Idaho.  I take it that this farmer grows grain

for the Budweiser company. 

We got to Dillon and found a Taco John's and had super and then on to Butte where we stayed our first night.  Butte is quite a town.  It has a lot of old minning towers and at night they are lite up with bright red lights all over the town which is built on the side of the mountain.  They have a big open pit copper mine too.  The historic part of town is way up on the hill.  A lot of old buildings and houses.  We were impressed buy how they all seemed to be well kept up.  All neatly painted in and in good repair.

We drove by Flathead Lake.  It's big and beautiful.  The water was a dark but very beautiful blue water.  The lake is 30 miles long and very wide and surrounded by tree covered mountains. 

We got to Columbla Falls just on the edge of Glacier National Park about four O'Clock and got a motel room.  A man gave us some tickets to a Circus so we went.  As you can see the tent is full of holes and it was very small.  It was a traveling Circus and the people who put it on were so nice and family oriented.  We were impressed by how nice and neat all the people who came were.  The acts were small but very good.  They sure had some beautiful animals and the clowns were funny.  The children clapped and laughed the

whole show. 

 

Tomorrow we will visit Glacier National Park.  Montana is a large but beautiful State.  Great sunsets.
