We left Helena a little after noon. Today's field trip was to the Elkhorn Ghost Town. The last leg of the journey was 11 miles down a dirt road. Both on the way there and back to the main road, we saw small groups of cows that had gotten past their fences. They posed nicely for us. :) The town was a booming silver, gold, and lead mining town in the 1870's. It was neat to see the remnants of buildings and the cemetery nearby. Only two of the buildings were open to the public, the rest of the buildings are privately owned. After our short trip to the ghost town, we left for Billings. Tonight we ate at Outback Steakhouse, ran to Walmart, and then back to the hotel to do laundry and get our car organized. We'll head home tomorrow, stopping long enough in Fargo to switch our belongings to our car and return the rental car. It will be about a 13 hour driving day, but we need to get home so that Ron and Ronnie can get ready to leave for Alaska. Look forward to more installments of this blog next week coming to you from Alaska.

The ghost town sounds really cool. I hope you got good pics of that.
