Thanks for posting those MT photos...Beautiful! I have family in MT and although I don't visit often when I do I always think I would have enjoyed living in Rocky Mountain MT or WY. I would have had a couple of horses and been in the mountains all the time. I flew a Super Cub for many years in Alaska for access to the wilderness there, but packing in with horses was something really special for me. I went back to Alaska once after a pack trip into the Bob Marshall Wilderness in MT and said to a flying buddy that if I never flew another hour in Alaska and could ride in the Rocky Mountains the rest of my life I'd be happy. He said I was crazy! We let it drop, but I was serious.
71, I cant get enough of the mtns I was born and raised in the Sierras and loved those big meadows and parks these Rockys up north are shy of big meadows and parks cept in the bob I try and spent some time each year in the Danaher valley in the bob huge meadows full of timothy grass planted by Danaher in the 1900's that old boy and his family wintered in there till the 30's he packed in all the stock drawn equipment to irrigate and hay the meadows, the foundation for the homestead is still there. some fine fishing in the cricks you can see the bear trails thru the grass in the meadows keeps you on your toes in the stirrups. danny
Awsome pics. Both my sons migrated to MT. I always enjoy my visits there. If I ever leave AK that is where I would go for sure.
Mod71...the ground is alot closer from horseback than from the Cub...mostimes anyways Logged many hours in the rear seat of a Cub in the old days doing predator control. Used a Mini-14. Bout went deaf with the pilot yelling not to hit strut or prop in nonstop verbal tirade. Exciting as could be with moments of shear terror thrown in as a bonus.

Buck, ya the beatles arent to bad yet in the fir's, the golden colored trees are larch and loss their needles every year, the lodgepole and spruce have a bug in them. The FS needs to load up some C130's and spay or start logging again. danny
I really like the Larch tree. We call them Tamaracks up here. The turn a beautiful gold in the fall and hold on to their needles for quite a long time. I've planted a few of them around our backyard.
