For those of you following the story on The Daily Show about the Berkeley Pit...well, here it is. The biggest Superfund site in the nation. It also contributes to Butte's motto "One Mile High, One Mile Deep." The next few pictures hardly do it justice...but it is very huge. There is a water treatment plant on the opposite side. If you kinda squint in the 3rd picture of the pit itself, you will see a small vertical white streak leading down to the pool in the pit. It's right of center. That's a huge waterfall of the treated water from the pit.
The pictures of the graves are from Holy Names Cemetery. I think I some relatives in this older part of the cemetery, but it was the weekend and the office was closed.
