ISLANDCAMPER: 2014 MONTANA AUG 27

We made to Havre last night and staid at the Evergreen CG a couple of miles out of town. It was a pleasant Mom and Pop CG. He had an old 1928 Model Ford he drove his grand kids around in.

We had a chance to do our laundry since it was convenient to our camper.

I mentioned before about the under ground city at Havre.

In 1904 the town burnt down but the floors were save and the basements. This covered about a 7 block area. Well they cleaned up and set there businessess up in the basements. They knocked holes in the walls connecting everything and did not have to go above ground for anything. They did this for several years until everything was rebuilt. Afterwards they left it intact and the other side of the track people starting operating out of there. Bordelo's, whiskey stills , bootleggers , chinese laundry, opium dens, everything on the other side of tracks people would do. One guy ran all kinds of illegal enterprises out of there and even had a contract withe Al Capone controlling the whisky in that part of the state. Quite interesting. The polite people did not bother them.
