JULY 4TH

so todays is july 4th when we celebrate our countries freedom..amen to that...so last night we were treated to some fire works and didn't even have to leave the campground--the city of butte was doing their display and we are overlooking the city so we could stay put..oh we could have gone into butte then we would have had to fight the traffic getting back...easier to stay where we were.. and a nice display it was..but you know what it doesn't get dark here until 11 so it was a late night going to bed...so we slept in this morning till 7..such a treat.. we decided we would go to a couple of museums only to find out that they had closed for the holiday..so we went to the site of the largest mine fire in Montana on top of a mountain overlooking butte...nice views of the city...and interesting info about the fire.. then off to the Chinese museum of the settlers who settled here in butte..we had our own private guide as it wasn't busy at all... lunch had been decided to go find a pastie for lunch as we had had one in the UP and wanted to compare them....guess because it is the 4th of july most everything is closed even the pastie shops..we were told that Wal-Mart also makes them--so we looked at each other and said we could buy some and bring them back to the rig...guess what Wal-Mart was all sold out..so had to settle for a sub-way..which is always tastie...glad that people close up their shops to enjoy the holiday with their families so I guess we may just have to wiat till we get home and I'll try to make some...
