Wednesday took us 61 miles away to Virginia City, which was the 2nd territorial capital of Montana.  It was  settled as a gold mining town and there are piles of rocks all along the river & surrounding area which are the tailings left from the gold dredging.   We were treated to a tour through town on a 1941 Fire Truck and learned about the history of the town along the route.  Alot of the buildings are still in their original condition dating back to 1864.

Of course, we enjoyed our afternoon ice cream treat.

Thursday, started with an outdoor breakfast at Barrett's Park.

 The park had a suspension bridge we had to walk over to get to breakfast.

We went to Camp Fortunate which was another Lewis & Clark site.

 Thursday was finally a beautiful sunny day, so we enjoyed touring around Dillon in convertible style.  We stopped at a quaint antique shop that had this unique bike.

The antique shop was surrounded by this rock wall.  

 We enjoyed prime rib at our final banquet.  Lots of food followed by rich chocolate mousse;  it was just too much for Brooklyn.  (Actually, too much for all of us!)

 All good things must come to an end... the final ride of the week - into the trailer & then it's good-bye for now.

Notice the sad faces as our trip to Dillon comes to an end.  We've had a great week & thoroughly enjoyed having Brooklyn & Megan with us.  They've been great travelers but now it's time to head for home.
