    Hi, Eric and Jax. When you mentioned you were entering Butte Montana, I remembered a sobering thought about when, as a young family with a small daughter, we traveled and tent-camped to Northern California along the same route.
    As we got closer to Butte, we saw signs on either side of the highway that warned drivers: "DO NOT PICK UP HITCH-HIKERS" and wondered why. Driving on through "downtown", we saw a motel sign and thought about stopping until we noticed directly across the street from the motel was a huge fence and a sign that said it was a STATE PRISON! I can't recall if we stayed in Butte or just drove on.
    I also think Butte was the area where old wooden mining structures and rotted, wooden stairs climbed up dry, dug-up nine shafts all massed together. (That may have been in Draper, North Dakota, which looked like a deserted War Zone.)
    For some reason, after all the cliffs and beauty you filmed just before this part, Butte set up a strange parallel world for us. That was in the 1960's. Happy Trails, Eric and Jax. Stay safe and healthy as we're in the second Corona virus assault which seems to be worse than the first one. :o) I'm a long-time fan and subscriber, Donna Blackman, Missouri.

    4:05 when you questioned why the Engineer didn't honk back, the crew likely didn't hear your horn. Most locomotives are either too noisy to hear much around or too well insulated to hear. I have almost 15 years of railroading and 12 of which I was a ̶h̶o̶g̶h̶e̶a̶d̶ sorry Engineer. I try to play "horn wars" but sometimes it's just not possible. Take care of yourself and Jax. Cheers

    FYI just saw this on RV Village Facebook page: For all the kitty people. In Missouri, the tick borne diseases are really bad this year. They quit eating and drinking and are lethargic and have a high fever. I've had 3 get it so far and use tick repellent on kitties and the yard. Doesn't seem to help. The best treatment so far is steroids and antibiotics and fluids if needed. Please watch your kitties closely as this is highly fatal. All it takes is 1 infected tick. This is only cats. Doesn't effect dogs or humans as it comes from bobcats. Feline only. If your cat survives then they become a carrier.

    Jax has you well trained! that was some awesome, esp the drone shot. Can you imagine what it was to build that road through the boulders, lots of blasting? Dad ran a crew in PA tunneling through the mountains, he did the blasting, so that 's where my mind went thinking of all the toll that went into that mountain road. And, I'm envious, rain- we haven't had rain in such a long time, driest it has been in 1 1/2 centuries where I am in Maine. I'm hoping the well won't go dry- I wouldn't complain about the rain, we are hurting- and watching other channels, some people baking in their vehicle in this hot weather, no escape- while you are in God's country. I remember you going through there in the wintertime, was that when your waterworks froze up- Anyway, all I remember is the misery of winter traveling through those states. Better days ahead!

    You should check out 5 Star Tuning for that V10. I use there tuner on mine and I'll never be without it again. It unleashed the power of my V10 and even better it changes and controls your shift points. No more dropping 2 gears or more at a time. It holds your gear and pours the fuel to it. It is like a different truck.

      Bonnie Bourdage I have to apologize for my "back in the 1960's" post. It's been 60-or so, years since we were in Butte and it's probably change a lot since then. I'm remembering Butte from that time. We didn't return home through the northern route and went back from Southern California that year.
      I'd like to know what Butte looks like now. It seemed that there was also a Mental Health facility near our entrance to Butte. Sounds like our town here in Missouri: A relatively new State Hospital built directly across the boulevard from the old S.H. which is now a State Prison. Have a good year, stay safe and healthy from the Corona virus. Happy Summer. Donna Blackman, Missouri, USA
