Montana

Few photos of our recent trip to our MT cabin. It is heaven on earth up there.

This guy was in Wyoming but loved the pic.



More from the cabin:



Great fishing.

Great pics. Like the last one, lot of color on that little bird.

Great pics!! I don't fish with my Rolex on though. Afraid it might end up at the bottom of the lake.

Who am I kidding......I don't even have a Rolex.

I bought it off a guy in New York-he had a whole coat full of 'em!

STX that is a rufous hummingbird - stays up north mostly, very rare to see them here.

That is what I thought it was. They are supposed to range in my area but have never seen one. I know they range northwest/west of San Antonio. They are colorful.

Great photos NP, cabin looks just plain relaxing, nice brown too

Love your cabin. Are you off the grid up there?

Great pics!

Great pics and bet it was a pleasant break from the summer heat down here

Yessir, but with propane, solar array, wood stove and generator if need be you don't notice it. The cabin is wired with lights that run off the solar array. House is heated by built in propane heaters if the wood stove doesn't cut it.

For cooling, just shut the windows when the sun breaks over the mountain to keep the cool air in the house if the day is going to be a warm one. Most of the time you can just leave them open.

Few more:



The driveway and front porch view. River is just at the base of the mountain.

Great pics.

The whole deal is your fault sir. Reading about y'all's place in Ruidoso flung a major craving on me.

Great pics, man! Beautiful!!!!!

Nice pictures! It's heaven until winter comes.

That's what I was thinking. But great place and pics nonetheless.

A Rick Bass book on the night stand seems in order to me. Bass....another Texan who has adopted Montana. Did I read where he has left the Yaak Valley and now calls the environs around Missoula home?

Looks like a guy could get real comfortable there. I hope your family enjoys it as well; I'm not sure that my daughters would have embraced the backwoods life to the same degree as all of us here.

WELL DONE, I say!

Awesome place! I think I'm going to miss my trip up north this summer and it is starting to bother me.

I bet that is absolutely wonderful up there especially this time of year

Great pictures, pretty Humming bird & Trout Is that a Brook Trout?

Wife and I going for a week in August. You got me fired up to go.

Dave I hope I run into Rick sometime. I believe his place is in the Missoula region, as our place is.
Yep Jensent we close it in from November to April. It's 22 miles up a mountain road - snow machines or horses are the only options then.
Stub that one is a brown trout. But brook trout, rainbows, and cutthroats are all plentiful.

River:

Have a great time! That's the best time to go for sure!

I'm jealous of your place NP. Really nice. I love Montana myself. Been hunting up there a couple of times.

Great pics, thanks for sharing them.

Outstanding pics!

Great pics!

Beautiful!!!! Bet it's not as hot and humid there as it is here in Texas right now

Beautiful pics and a gorgeous setup you got there!

Great pics there!

awesome pics....thank you so much for sharing...really cool

Pretty place. That hummingbird is cool. You need to wear bells and carry pepper spray when you go fishing though.

Awesome place and the hummingbird is sure pretty. Traveled up to Montana years ago. Joliet and Red Lodge area. God's country for sure! Fell in love with it. That "River" you posted is a creek in the locals vocabulary. Awesome pictures.

Very nice!

What a beautiful slice of heaven. Thank you for sharing.

NP, do you use the cabin to also base hunt out of? I think I would be a proud owner of a few snow machines if that was my place, Christmas would be a great time to be there with the family. And talk about a great "outfitters tent" for hunting!!

Absolutely gorgeous! certainly makes one want to be there to enjoy the cool air, scenery and all that goes along with it.

Where about NP? I'm headed to Montana in November for a Mulie hunt near Big Timbers.

Wow what a beautiful place. Great pics

It's about an hour out of Missoula in the middle of the Lolo National Forest.

Western haven't hunted out of it yet but that's in the cards for the future. Gotta draw some tags though.

Awesome place and pictures. I'm just a little bit jealous !

Beautiful place and great photos! It is a shame that they introduced the Canadian Gray Wolf to possibly the most beautiful state in the Union. Now the elk and deer herds are dwindling and livestock producers are next in line.
Adios,
Gary

Like hunting from home! PL close? if so, man you're set up mighty fine.

Great pics. Looks like a great place. I like the Hummer. I think thats a Rufous and we don't get them around here.

Great pics NP, you have it going on.

Chinese fly rod with a Rolex pic is the best

Amazing, thanks for sharing
