Lady of the Rockies!

By: Zoe Walker

Welp, we had to leave Butte and the folk festival but hey, at least we got to visit and even camp at the Lady of the Rockies.

This lady is a large statue overlooking Butte and is dedicated to all women and mothers. It was a really beautiful view but unfortunately the low lieing clowds started to give us a light mist and we feared that we were in for a cold night. Luckily someone associated with the monument opened up the basement storage room of a building on sight and we slept nice and warm down there in the dust and with a little mouse friend.

Day two was fairly uneventful although we did visit a cool old mine cabin and a pipe that was gushing water from seemingly know where.

There was nothing else particularly of note for the rest of the way into Anacanda. It was a nice section of trail but fairly deserted due to a lot of people taking the Anacanda cutoff. Luckily I was with Toolman and Frito as we saw no CDT hikers for the entire 95 mile section.
