Anaconda

After our adventures at the mountain stream, we finally made it to Georgetown Lake. Sylvia was thrilled to be out of the car finally!



After setting up camp at Georgetown, we went to visit Deb's aunt Linda, and uncle Bob, in Anaconda. We had a nice visit with them and Lianne who happened to be there... and then Bob offered his wild off-road adventure machine to us!



Soon were were up in the mountains, and Noel was taking pictures of the views. For those who don't know, the first is a view of Anaconda from West Valley. The tall spire in the distance is not, in fact, a wizard's tower. Instead it's the smoke-stack of the Anaconda Copper Company. The second picture is of Mount Hagin, looking South from West Valley.





Our next stop in Anaconda was the fish hatchery, where they breed tens of thousands of fish every year and release them into nearby lakes and streams. They have a couple of pools in front of the building, where some of the largest fish reside. A couple were almost as big as Sylvia!
