Last day in Helena. I walked north to mall country, straight up Davis Ave. to the northern edge of town then east to Interstate 15. From there I strolled back through mall country, a universally anti-pedestrian territory. When I got to Last Chance Gulch Street, I turned and headed back towards the town centre. The contemporary part of the street is marked by strip malls and other forms of unsightly car- culture development. Closer into the town centre, the part of the town formed in the nineteenth century, the street became much more pedestrian friendly, with businesses oriented towards a street culture rather than a parking lot culture. 16 km today.
