Out of Calgary was booming. We waited until late morning when all the traffic that had happened to everyone safely tucked away in their workplaces. It was the end of August, which leads to the conclusion of the summer holidays. What better time to do a road trip with most people busy doing the back of the school career. Cruising south on the road 2 we feel the claws of the liberation of the city with each passing kilometer. Nanton, Claresholm, Lethbridge, all family destinations within reach. This was not what you were looking for. We needed something new, something none of us had seen before, so we kept to the south to the border. Crossing the border was very smooth – we deliver our passports and the gentleman asked us "what we were doing and where were we?" Jack and I had no schedule or destination and had both left our jobs, but I knew it would not be in our best interest to disclose that history that had previously agreed that camping in the Grand Canyon is a great goal. Our car was loaded with full equipment and mountain bikes strengthening our official history and appeared at the border by car from his window and waved us through. We were now in the U.S. and the new earth which was felt as the journey was about to begin. Continuing south, we reached an old western mining town called Butte, Montana. The hills surrounded and embraced this solution on this quiet Sunday night sleep. We passed by the city to easily find the KOA camp and chose our home in the many empty seats. We grope, created in our tent and set a new domain. To sit at the picnic table with a cold was our first real opportunity to really look around and examine our environment. We were exploring the perimeter of the city and saw a bright white object at the top. Recovery Binoculars car helped us see that the light came from Our Lady of the statue of Rockies, Mary. She is a 90-foot statue built by volunteers and donated materials is dedicated to women and mothers everywhere. The statue was first attempted by Bob O'Bill when his wife became ill with cancer and he promised the Virgin Mary was to build a 9-foot statue of her in your backyard. When his wife recovered yet completed its pledge volunteers with donated materials changed the initial vision of the Virgin seen decorating the top of the Continental Divide. Butte view seems to give her blessing to all who can admire and appreciate their presence. The heat of the night sky and a bright ruby suggested a return to summer, so I ventured out on mountain bike in search of the famous red light district. Leaving the KOA we rolled onto the road passing through the railway, well lit in the solution of homes for dinner or the cat or dog from time to time for his afternoon walk. Upon reaching the main street in Butte showed us a quiet but active life of the people of this village copper mine. We did not find the "red zone" or see any "red light activity" but finding a few sporting goods stores, pubs, restaurants and businesses expected to keep booming city. All the days of Our Lady of the Mountains Rocky radiates above us.

Our first early morning sunrise with cleaning through the store. Jack took the initiative and prepared BODUM coffee we bought at the many other items in preparation for this camping trip. The store had a mild cold dust disappeared rapidly with the heat of the morning. The second day of the adventure was about to begin as we packed up and went.
