Step 1. Point car down a random road and see where it goes.

Step 2. Enjoy the view. A Sunday drive seemed like a pretty nice way to get out of the house in a safe way. After a week where Butte had new snow almost every day, I think everyone here is looking forward to this week, where the temperatures are supposed to be warmer and the big sun ball is supposed to make an appearance, too.

Today’s drive took me across the Pipestone Pass. From town, this looks to be a really close route to trailheads for hiking. They are still covered in snow, but I did see a small handful of vehicle parked along the way. In the distance in the photo is the Tobacco Root range. Some day, I may live out that way. It is fun to imagine a daily mountain view.
