Adventure

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power" Alan Cohen

Northward On!

5/19/2016 Thursday   Start: Stoddard Creek Campground, Idaho   End: Butte, Montana


We continued heading north today, ending up in Butte, Montana.  We backtracked a little bit so that Mike could dig for some opals at Spencer Opal Mine, Idaho where he found a small opal.

As we headed north we ran into some rain and strong winds, slowing to 45 mph at one point approaching Dillon, MT.  We picked up some visitor info and ended up in Butte for the night at a not-so-great KOA.  We visited the Mineral Museum and a used bookstore then headed home for dinner and relaxing.  It’s cold, 40’s, but with full hookups we’ll be toasty warm tonight.
