It surely is now. I went to the boat ramp in Melrose on the Big Hole- it was packed last summer- middle of the week.<br /><br />BrianBrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11009623520148094685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247350212550914879.post-47470505946167414632015-04-23T09:14:11.571-06:002015-04-23T09:14:11.571-06:00One of the best friends in my life grew up in Butt...One of the best friends in my life grew up in Butte and loved it. I tried nw Montana for about a year and passed through Butte all the time to and fro from Colorado on that interstate-it sure looked wore out, I never did stop though and check it out. It still looked very victorian, kinda like some of the small towns west of Denver in the mountains. <br /><br />He used to tell me the fishing was unbeatable and he would know that.<br />MMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247350212550914879.post-87617854086455937222015-04-21T18:17:56.729-06:002015-04-21T18:17:56.729-06:00Hi Dave.

It has the same hold on me that Butte does for you, so I get it. I lived there 18 years and I feel guilty sometimes, feeling I should have went back and helped the place instead of myself. The working stiffs of the steel mills and the sounds of trains consume my thoughts as I get older and time passes rapidly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247350212550914879.post-86333079021350348892015-04-20T18:11:28.921-06:002015-04-20T18:11:28.921-06:00Thanks for swinging by Ted...I knew some Richards&...Thanks for swinging by Ted...I knew some Richards' in Butte.<br /><br />BrianBrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11009623520148094685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247350212550914879.post-1569202641975529852015-04-19T17:44:03.981-06:002015-04-19T17:44:03.981-06:00I'm I was born in Butte moved out in 81 I too ...I'm I was born in Butte moved out in 81 I too always stay at the Finland hotel when I visit 5 or 6 times per year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247350212550914879.post-5137637881458396642015-04-18T17:03:14.835-06:002015-04-18T17:03:14.835-06:00Ahhh, the days before 'financial engineering, ...Ahhh, the days before 'financial engineering, and fraud science' took off. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247350212550914879.post-69867143426403367432015-04-18T09:07:48.892-06:002015-04-18T09:07:48.892-06:00@Fredd...that saying I think is mostly true except...@Fredd...that saying I think is mostly true except here in Butte.
