See Depot Video Between Missoula and the Idaho border we were barreling along I-90 when we saw a sign that caused us to brake, exit, and follow signs to a Historic Ranger Station Visitors Center. So glad we made the stop. Ninemile Remount Depot is still an...
Our tentative destination for today was Missoula. Not for any particular reason but just because it seemed like a reasonable distance but before we got there we got tired of travel. We stopped at Bearmouth RV Park in Drummond on a whim. It's a family owned place with...
It was operations like the Anaconda Copper Mining Company that supplanted the hard rock copper mines that we visited in Houghton and Calumet on the Keweenaw Peninsula last September. Like in the Keweenaw area, immigrants worked the mines and created a vibrant...

Today we visited Virginia City, once the biggest, busiest city in Montana. Founded as a result of the discovery of gold in 1863, it quickly became the commercial, entertainment, and transportation center in the Alder Gulch mining district. By 1865 Virginia City was...
Since shortly after we crossed the border from South Dakota into Wyoming we have more or less been following the Bozeman Trail which was designed to be the shortest overland route from Ft Laramie to the Virginia City gold fields. John Bozeman was a major figure...
Just outside of Bozeman and just ten minutes from the Museum of the Rockies, Bear Canyon Campground Site #54 is our current home with a million dollar view. After stuffing our brains with all sorts of great information at the museum today we stopped for Wilcoxson's...
The Museum of the Rockies is amazing! We ventured back into the dinosaurs realm first thing this morning and watched a video in which Curator Jack Horner (Yes, he's the famed paleontologist, scientific advisor for the Jurassic Park movies, and inspiration for the...
On our 2008 trip we stopped here to get just a little taste of this stupendous museum. This trip we want to see more. We camped just a ten minute drive away and came in this afternoon to begin the adventure. We browsed a bit in the Siebel Dinosaur Complex...
The Montana sticker is now proudly displayed on the map on the side of our T@B meaning we have now wandered into 45 of the contiguous states! And last night we stayed at the original KOA campground in Billings, established 1962. Our first stay together at a KOA was in...

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.
The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
