0 Miles
Stealthed By the River
So when we rolled into Anaconda it was hot and the town was long in distance so I was t too much a fan of the place. Oh and it's completely destroyed by 60 years of copper smelting for the town of Butte. The smelter was shut down in 1980 and now the clean up begins. Besides the huge piles of byproduct and polluted waterways, Anaconda's downtown and main strip has an old time western mining town feel. There's plenty of old architecture and an impressive old theatre, the Washoe Theatre, which reminded me of the theaters all over the east coast. It was renovated and is now used to show movies (which we caught the new superman movie) and the intricate detail within the theatre was quite impressive. Anaconda's old time charm has grown on me. But that being said tomorrow back to work, road walking around 15 or so more miles out of here. For now Spins and I are camped over in the woods near the river by the RV Park because 18 dollars a night to set a tent up in the grass is ridiculous.
