Spokane and the wild west - Where the cowboys roamed

Sopokane is a beautiful city wqith nice parks and waterfall. The electrical goat that eats up everthing you put in it's mouth was hilarious. After seeing this nice city we headed on our way to Montana known as the BIG BOY COUNTRY. On the way we visited the 50,000 Silver Dollar store and it all started with one silver dollars. Do you know why miners wore braces on their trousers.... They were paid in silver dollars and braces prevented the trousers to fall down with the weight. There are 10,500 actual silver dollars in the store, the rest are dollars in circulation not long ago.






Crossing over to Montana we found the landscape very alien reminding us of the wetern movies where the cowboys tamed the horses, chased the cow herds and fought with the red Indians.

Today after seeing the city of Butte we shall be on our way to Red Lodge at the foot of yellowstone park.
Cheers
Renata & Arun
