Butte, MT Copper capital of the world!


Along the way today, we stopped in Butte and checked out the copper mine which is still in operation. There was a memorial to miners who were trapped in the mine when a fire broke out in 1917 and died, mostly due to toxic gases. We also stopped at Big Hole National Battlefield to learn about another sad story of the Nez Perce Indians.
