MIH – Travel Day, Overnight with Friends


Sunday, August 6, 2017



We get an early leaving Bozeman heading to Victor, MT where we meet our friends Joyce and Duain.  We will pass the Continental Divide several times during this trip, the first sign that we see highlights the crossing at about seven miles east of Butte, the elevation is noted at 6393’.

We meet Joyce and Duain at the Lolo Peak Brew Pub for lunch.  It’s interesting to visit small breweries and to see how they compare to those back in VT. It’s so nice to see our friends.  For over a decade we’ve talked about visiting them and I’m so happy that we finally get to. 

As I mentioned we’re dropping Elwood off and then heading to a couple of house/pet sits in Canada.  We will return in a few weeks and spend a little more time with them.

It’s a relatively clear day, something that has been missing from the region due to the forest fires.  Later on we do see/breathe some of the poor air quality resulting from the fires.  The picture below was taken near the Lolo Brewing Company later in our trip. The orange spot is the sun and it really did look like this.
