Colorado and Montana, August 2015

 Fountain on Pearl Street in Boulder
 Butte, MT - we took a day trip from Bozeman to check out this historical mining town. It had everything to make for an interesting day -  an old brothel, a mining museum, a superfund site from the largest open pit mine in the US, to an easy-going brewery, to huge black head-frames dotting the landscape!

Moose on the loose in Colorado
Hiking Rattlesnake Gulch in El Dorado State Park outside Boulder. See the high plains behind us!
 The Devil's Causeway in the Flat Tops Wilderness.  Marta recommended this hike. I've learned over the years that Marta's recommendations - for hikes, food, or movies - are always spot on. This 6 mile hike ended at 11,800 feet with a 50 foot long, 3-4 foot wide narrow causeway which gave one pause.

Here is another view so you can really see how scary this thing was!
This was near Ab's and Matt's house in Bozeman.  Tom and I just celebrated our 24th anniversary last Sunday! :)












Dan's aunts and uncles joined us in Champaign for some tasty Papa Del's pizza.
Conversations can get competitive!
