Better Weather

 We've moved a couple of times. We are now in Hamilton, MT at Angler's Roost RV park. It's an OK park but it's pretty close to the main highway, so it gets a lot of road noise and it's a little pricey at $75 a night.

We stayed a week in Anaconda, Mt. at the Copper Court RV Park, a fairly new park. It's close to Butte, MT. So we made a couple of trips to Butte. We really like Butte but it doesn't have a good RV park. We went to the Butte Brewery and then had lunch at O'Donnell's Irish Pub.

We met John (he recommended O'Donnell's) in the Butte Brewery. He's moving to Alaska to become a state trooper. I think he's crazy. It's too cold up there.

The owners of O'Donnell's are from Ireland. They had a good selection of Irish Beer. Peggy had the Shepherd's Pie and I had a good Reuben sandwich. 

Had to have a Smithwick's from the tap. 

Butte is full of mines. This is the Mile high, Mile deep mine.

Before we got here, we stopped in ST. Regis, MT at the Nugget RV park. Nice park but it was pricey too. ST. Regis has nothing in it. One bar, The Dog House. It's just a gas stop town on I-90. We met up with one of my golf buddies, Tim. We had lunch with him at Quinn's Hot Springs Resort.

The food was good and the Beer was cold.

The hot springs come right out of the mountain. We forgot to bring our suits to get in the pools. But it looked really nice.

Not far from Quinn's was Clark Fork Meat company, They make some really good Polish Dogs. So I got a couple of packs.

It rained a lot in ST. Regis. Here, I'm making a rain Pizza. It started to rain right after I put it on the Big Green Egg.

But it turned out OK. My new double indirect cooking setup. This stops from burning the bottom of the pizza.

We had to get a new tire pressure monitor. Our old one was going nuts sometimes, after all, it was 10 years old. This one is working well so far.

Katie, just being cute. She loves to get up on the picnic table.

Still Cold

 We are in Ennis, Montana at Ennis RV Park. We've been here before. The park is ok but they're not taking very good care of it. We have a lot of weeds in and around our lot. The weather has not been very good; pretty cold. We did have two nice days in a row.

Our site. There's still snow on the mountains.

They have chickens here in the park so you can get fresh eggs for five bucks a dozen. 

Katie loves the chickens too.

We went down to the Madison River to watch the drift fishermen go by. The Madison River comes out of the Yellowstone N.P. It flows pretty fast. They fish for Trout.

Good spot to watch them go by right next to the boat launch.

This looks like an Osprey hunting by the river.

This tag is on the picnic tables here. We haven't seen any bears yet.

We took Katie to the brewery in town. They have a nice outside area that's dog friendly. The Burnt Tree Brewery. The beer is pretty good and they have killer pizza too.

Not far away is the historic town of Virgina City. It's an old mining town that we've been to before. This is a spooky looking old house just outside of town.

This is the bar at the Pioneer Bar in Virginia City. They say that there is a bar in Anaconda that looks just like this one. Anaconda is our next stop, so we'll see.

We took a little road trip to Pony, Montana to stop at the Pony Bar. It's the only thing in the town, it's that small. The bartender told us they used the old school house in the TV series 1923. Oh, Peggy beat me at the bumper pool table.

And of course I had to fix another thing on the RV. New drawer slide. I hate doing drawer slides.

We have a new Pope!
