What a great day !  It was 46 when we got up this morning.

  It did go to 58. We were in the prettiest little town , Livingston MT.

The train museum was closed for the season, but the train station was 

really unique.  It's all red & beige brick.

                                           from there we drove to Butte. The Mountains were
                                           stunning. Even with the smoke. There are fires everywhere.

                                          We went to the Piccadilly Transportation museum
                                           and meant this lovely Lady named Sammie. She says
                                           she is 75, I don't believe her.

her job is to clean license plates & scan them.They are 

sold on line. Her boss started to collect them when he was

14. He is now a millionaire, who would have thought there

would be a market for used plates? Or that someone

had a job cleaning them.  And she loves it.

                                                          Look what we found, Harrison!

                                           Sammie took us to the back & showed us some of the                  
                                           16,000 plates they have from around the world.
                                           Look what was right on top !

          

                                           We then went on a 2 hour  trolley tour around Butte.
                                           You can't go to Butte without seeing a mine. It's called the
                                            richest hill in the world.

                                                    this is one of the mine owners homes.
                                                    the next block are the miners one story ,
                                                    one room wide homes.




                                              On our way north we found another car museum.
                                               are we glad we stopped in Deerlodge. It was one
                                               of the nicest ones we've been in.

                 

                                           This is half of one room out of five. You  can't see his
                                           face , but, Fran is smiling!

                                            Fran , I told you to pay the taxes !!!!
                                           It was also the Montana Territory prison.




                                           We are now in Polson, at the south end of Flathead Lake
                                           We may  stay here 2 days as it's so pretty.  Maybe not
                                            they told us it's going down to 15 tonight!!!
