The CdA, Hiawatha and NorPac trails, among other things, have generated some tourist business. The last time I was touring there I found myself waiting at a red light when there was no traffic in sight. Then I chuckled at myself when I remembered the Idaho Stop Rule.
Did your BIL go to school in Butte? There’s a mining college there. Another city with a long history of mining and prostitution. I’ve spent three nights there during tours.
