From Ennis, MT, N45°22.088’ W111°43.681’

Day 96

After catching up on e-mail and Facebook, I went out and did the two nearest caches.

For lunch we went to the Ennis Café. I was the only one daring enough to try the Buffalo burger. Gerri had the pork tenderloin sandwich (not as “Big” as those in Indiana) and Glenna had a patty melt. We topped off the meal by sharing fresh strawberry pie.


After lunch we took a more leisurely drive to Virginia City. Gerri and Glenna did a little shopping. I went through a small local museum. We drove to Alder and I did a cache at Robber’s Roost. This was a way station on the stage line from Virginia City and Bannack. The story goes that the gang of robbers hung out there and sized up stagecoach passengers for robbery further down the road.


We did one more cache at a scenic turnout on the way back to Ennis, a great panoramic view of the Madison Valley.

Gerri and Madison Valley

Gerri fixed us hash and eggs for supper, Glenna finished off her patty melt.

Tin Can Tourist

We are headed to Heyburn, ID in the morning, a 275 mile drive.
