Kelly in Kansas

Spending a day in Butte, Montana, was an interesting comparison to the mining landscapes I see all around me at home. The Rocky Mountains in Montana are definitely bigger and more spread out than those in Colorado (with which I am more familiar given the geographical relationship to Kansas). There was gold, silver, and copper mining here and the state university's technology campus is here. Go Diggers!

Had some interesting food and the people are indeed very nice.

More on Montana later. Now it's time to drive again.
