Montana District Rendezvous — Good Company in Butte

The yellow Wise River Club building in Montana

Lesley and I had an awesome time at the Montana District Rendezvous. From what I saw, the rally went smoothly, and we were glad to be part of it.

A little background on Butte

Butte’s mining history gives the city a distinctive place in the American West. Its copper production earned it the nickname “The Richest Hill on Earth,” and the mining industry helped shape the community and its historic buildings.

For more about that history, the National Park Service’s overview of the Butte-Anaconda Historic District provides useful background.

Until the next gathering

This rendezvous is over, but Lesley and I came away happy we made the trip. Thanks to the Montana District for a rally we enjoyed.
