A Day Beneath The Streets

Saturday 6/28/2014
Havre, MT


We traveled US 2 all the way from East Glacier to Havre and saw some beautiful country.  The Blackfeet Reservation seemed to stretch on and on and outside of Browning the ranches owned by Indians seemed pretty much the same as everywhere else. We saw a domestic herd of buffalo and rolling hills that kissed the huge Montana sky.  Then the hills gave way to flat fields of grain, hay and yellow mustard.  Arriving in Havre around 1 pm we found the hotels were filling up fast probably due to a car show we passed about 30 miles back.  We did get a nice room for $125 and after getting lunch at McDonalds we headed for the Museum Beneath The Streets; in 1904 the whole business district of this town burned to the ground and so all the businesses moved into their basements and created a whole town underground.  It was amazing; a meat store, drug store, bakery, saloon, doctor’s, even a brothel and undertaker.  We are about 4 days ahead of schedule and the rest of the trip is filled with places the kids should like.
