North Parks communication was excellent, and they went out of their way get the shipment to me. The driver was courteous and capable, and exactly on time.

The guide was very (overly?) enthusiastic with some exaggerated "facts" (didn't seem quite right to me, so I researched a few things afterwards). Indeed Butte was a very important, crowded and rough place in the early part of the 20th century and the stories you will hear on this tour give a good flavor of that time, just know that it's more like watching a movie "based on a true story", than a documentary.

Gold, silver, and finally copper brought Butte's population to nearly 100,000 in 1917, with more than 150 underground mines running 24 hours a day. Today there are numerous reminders of the opulence, decadence, and wild lifestyles of poor European immigrants, miners, businessmen and of course the wealthy "Copper Kings." Old Butte Historical Adventures guides you through this rough-and-ready history in the nation's largest National Historic Landmark District, with 6,015 contributing resources. The Tours cover every decade from the 1890's through the 1950's.

Arthritis in my back made it near impossible to look up to the night stars so I made the commitment to the 11 1/2 hour days for treatment. My visits to the mine in Basin nearly eliminated my pain and I am able to gaze at the stars without falling to my knees, ride my bike, mow the lawn and walk up stairs without groaning from back pain. My brother-in-law, career nuclear subs then nuclear power plants, believes I'm going to die because of my visits. He repels the truth because of the narrow minded and archaic "science" he was taught. In truth, anything in appropriate measures can be beneficial but in excess can destroy quality of or life itself. For any nay sayers, the proof is in decades of positive results and folks who return year after year because of their experience. Animals that have benefitted cannot have preconceived expectations. Your choice but as for me, "I'll be back"! Peace and Love, JDP

Sunshine Mine Boulder, MT…read more *Travel professionals/long term renters stay away from this property* I stayed at the Sunshine Mine while on a work assignment. Options are very limited in the Boulder, MT area; therefore, rental housing can be expensive or consist of a longer commute. I chose this long term rental after discovering it online, and scarce housing options being available. Normally, I wouldn't have chosen a cabin to reside in, but housing options were minimal. This also was a short commute to my place of employment. This is definitely not the ideal housing choice for long term use. Initially when I arrived to the unit, it was very outdated and unclean. It appeared as if no one had been living in the unit/cabin for a long period of time, but the owner claimed she rented out all of the units frequently to travel professionals. The owner's assistant (Melanie) stated certain things would be removed/replaced, the space would be cleaned properly, and a basic setup including toiletries would be provided. All presented were false promises given. Upon arrival nothing was as we previously discussed. I didn't even have a roll of toilet tissue. Gratefully, I seen the owner's husband outside whom went to get me a roll from his house. The bed linen and shower curtain was stained heavily. The flooring of the unit, the kitchen sink, the refrigerator, and bathroom were filthy. I wasn't given a key to the unit either. I was told it was lost, and I should be safe even if the door is unlocked. I contacted Shellie (the owner) the next morning explaining what had occurred. Out of desperation for housing and her guarantee to correct all of my issues I decided to stay. I wished I would've left as I initially plan, but I'm a firm believer of giving people a second chance. After staying in the unit for over a month I decided it was no longer a good housing choice for me. I contacted the owner and her assistant multiple times via phone, email, and text concerning my early departure/refund of my deposit but my request was ignored/denied. I informed them of me leaving due to personal issues a week in advance. An improper exit/departure of the unit was performed and I never received my deposit/extra monies paid towards my account. I repeatedly contacted both parties but was ignored. This business lacks professional and has poor customer service/communication. They play the part/role to lure you in, but are nothing as they appear to be. Yes, rental housing options are very limited in the Boulder area, but I would say pay a few more dollars to stay elsewhere or make a longer commute to your job. Traveling to an unfamiliar area is already a great concern, your housing shouldn't be especially when paying a lot of money to stay in the unit. Please go elsewhere! Save your money.

Great service all around for building a great vacation. We worked with Geri to help plan our Europe…read moretrip and cruise. She helped us with booking flights together at the best rate and made sure we were all set with hotels and transportation in the foreign cities we were visiting. We had to make a change in the ticket and she took care of no problem (had we booked on our own it may not have been an easy fix so we are very grateful. ). I recommend using Freedom Travel for vacations. Yes you can do things online, especially with all of the resources available. But I put my trust into someone experienced to make sure I will have my ducks in a row before leaving the country.

It's just a short drive off of I-90, (less than 2 minutes) There are individual stalls, with warm running water for hand washing & vending machines. What's missing? Some way to indicate which stalls are occupied. As it was, they all were, which meant testing every door, then circling awkwardly without rhyme or reason til you could pounce on an opening door, without a way to line up and wait. My only issue to note.

Lots of truck parking and decent amount of parking for cars - 15ish at the building and another 7 or 8 at the trailhead. Big sky, wide open, plenty of picnic tables and dog exercise areas. I did come back for this one on a subsequent road trip, that's how good it is!

We paid $47 (we were told $37 when we made reservations.). Everything worked: water, sewer, electric but set ups are not as you would expect. We had to hitch up and pull forward the next morning to reach the port for the sewer as it was way forward of everything else. LOUD! They are 100 yards off of the Highway! And there are two truck stops 0.2 miles away. You can hear the "Jake" brakes and and LOUD Highway noise all night long. The sites are super small. No trees and we were greeted by unpicked up dog poop (several piles) in the small area of grass next to our site. Had to be careful not to step in it as we put our steps down.
