Good Morning !
We had a relaxing morning. Woke up at 7:30 ! I made coffee (from Washington~ Yum !) Mark took some carrots and the dogs to feed the horses again this morning.
I took a shower with a S H A M P O O ! Yeah, for full hook up and the abundance of water !
We did a load of wash, Mark cleaned the RV windows and off we went.
To continue our scenic drive through Beaverhead Deerlodge National Forest on one side and
Helena National Forest on the other side of us.
Water from George Town Lake was gushing through the rocks on the side of the road rushing down into a canyon. Flint Creek Dam
Amazing !
We stopped on the side to take a closer look.
Drove on to the town of Anaconda.
A cute little town, every house was as neat as a pin !
You gotta love Wikipedia !......
Anaconda is a company town founded by Marcus Daly of the Anaconda Company which began its smelting operations here and would build the tallest smokestack in the western U.S to support the company's operations in nearby Butte. The supporting community was named after the company. After a century of copper smelting from the Anaconda Company, Anaconda Smelter Stack closed its operations in 1980. Since an operation for environmental cleanup was put into place by the Environmental Protection Agency and executed with the assistance of ARCO. The multi-million dollar cleanup and investment has resulted in the formation of "Old Works" Golf Course, a championship 18-hole course designed by Jack Nicklaus.
We hit the road at 11 am ...70 degrees the sign says... nice.
So, off we head through Butte, on to Idaho Falls for the night....
See ya !
