DAY 7 | Yellowstone Dutton ranch | ||
Good morning folks a dip in the hot tub to get us going!
The not too shabby view from the hot tub.
Just 5 minutes up the road the Yellowstone Dutton ranch
The Yellowstone Series with the adorable Kevin Costner, filmed right here. We didn't manage to see any stars, on the up side we weren't chased off the driveway by any shotgun wielding security folk.
A hasty drive by shot of he house chosen by paramount, to host the Dutton families exploits.
Fettys cafe and bar.
Lunch in Wisdom. A rare sunday brunch find. Loved my Greek Gyro, Ian had the ham and cheese toasty with fries.
Follwed by a trip to the Silver Mine gift shop. Run by Darryl and his wife Kate, This couple of golden oldies made a fuss of us.
We visited Butte, a mining town with the buy line of "The most valuable hill in the USA" with its 7000 ft long x 5600 ft wide pit, the chemicals which have settled in the pit are so toxic they kill wildlife, there is a regular warning claxon and gunshot noise to scare the birds away.
From1955 til 1982 it was the USA's largest truck operated open pit copper mine.
We visited a memorial dedicated to those who lost their lives, in the granite mountain speculator fire.
After a refreshing shower we headed to main street, after a stroll we tried some craft lagers in "Plonk".
After that we headed off and found "Shred Monk" another artisan brewery, they roast all their own coffee, and brew a small selection of ales.
Ian has gone vegitarian, this is our starter of roasted snow peas in a sesame and lemon honey dip. He's looking for the meat.
Home to bed at our latest resting place The Saphire Motel, with its piped 50's music and constant aroma of cinnamon.
Well goodnight dear reader, see you when the fog lifts xx
