Friday 6/29/12
An early morning visit from M.A. Fornelius to the hotel room in SLC. Always good to see the man. Departed north to Montana at 9:30am. Somewhat uneventful driving day with the goal of camping at Holter Lake campground outside of Wolf Creek, MT. We stopped in Butte and picked up a bicycle to take to AK. On the hillside in Butte is a huge statue of the virgin Mary, below is a shot of her overlooking Butte. We made it to Helena after 500 miles and decided one more night in a hotel would be perfect before we hit the dark territory of Canada and forced camping. A decent Pizza Hut meal and a newer La Quinta hotel fit very nicely to end the day. We saw a herd of elk, a few gophers which LE ran over one of expertly. Hoping to make it to Red Deer tomorrow.
