Sellin’ some Grizzly Gold for a Jelly Belly

Hello, The Funny One here yet again. I just finished the funny pictures for the funny newspaper. Yeah! I just have to write something for them and that’s it. I’m sure it won’t take long. Hooray!

Ok, today’s state is Montana. In the pic, I’m at the Last Chance Tours which is home of the Last Chance Tour Trains and Trolley. It looks great! http://www.lctours.com/ There’s also the Last Chance Ranch. Ooooh, you can also have a wagon ride dinner. Mmmmmm wagon ride dinner. http://lastchanceranch.biz/

What about museums in Montana? There’s the World Museum of Mining. For the first time in the history of Butte, those who lost their lives in a mining, mill/smelter, concentrator, or railroad accident are now memorialized there at the World Museum of Mining. Four memorial walls have been constructed of polished black granite slabs, are sand-blasted with the names of over 2,500 men that lost their lives in the Silver Bow Mining District since 1865.

Another interesting place is The Mineral Museum, which, as you can kinda guess by the title, has lost of minerals. They wouldn’t notice if one went missing, would they? Another cool place to check out is The Historical Museum at Fort Missoula They have over 600 WWII posters available. Check out their website http://www.fortmissoulamuseum.org/ The Museum of the Rockies is home to one of the biggest and most important dinosaur collections in the world.

If you love wild animals then these places might be of interest: The Montana Grizzly Encounter is a Rescue & Education for Grizzly Bears center. It was Founded in 2004 and provides a spacious and natural home for rescued grizzlies. The Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center ” is home to 8 wolves that live in two different packs and it’s also home to grizzly bears from as far away as Alaska and as close as Yellowstone National Park. In Gates Of The Mountains, you will see many birds and animals.”

Oh, there is also a Blue Jewel Mine. It operates from mid-April through the first freeze of the season. The Blue Jewel Mine is a great place to spend an afternoon mining for sapphires and gold. I wouldn’t say no to having some free sapphires!!

As I love candy, I couldn’t not mention where you can buy some – The Montana Candy Emporium!! They even sell Jelly Belly. Mmmmmm Jelly Belly.
