Ace.....thanks.....Oregon is incredible.....its been a long time since I visited.....way too long.....didn't stay near long enough..... Mekcanix & ITTOG.....well, I'll admit that the tests in Missoula did not go so well but we're not at that point quite yet. I did have to stop back by the...

At one point in our travels I pulled over onto a random side road and we got out of the truck and just started to walk along that road.....just to see what we could see..... We came across one farmers' field that interested me.....so we trespassed just a little bit because there was something...

Foy.....it seemed to me that I may have read that in the past and that was why why I guessed it. You should read that book about Freemont & Carson. I have a feeling that you'd like it. Thanks for providing the information that I'm too lazy to seek out. You can easily see that it's appreciated by...

The dogs were so ready to jump into that river.....it was crazy.....I was barely able to keep them from jumping in. Their day for swimming would come soon enough.....but we left without them swimming in that crystal clear river water..... One thing that I think is really cool about...

ITTOG.....blissful..... The following morning we awoke to another perfect weather day. After breakfast we took a short hIke across the three bridges that spanned the three creeks.....and then, leaving early, we continued our journey west. Somewhere along Highway 12 we stopped at a random...

The third creek that our hike took us across was named Crooked Fork Creek.....this one was clearly the smallest of the three creeks.....yet none the less beautiful..... Then our trail.....which was actually the Forest Service road.....began to climb the mountain..... It seemed as though...

ITTOG.....just know.....it's a liberal town (college town) and they don't hide it. In addition, there's a healthy population of homeless people that roam the streets. If you can deal with that (it's zero problem for me), you'll probably love it. Great restaurants, great shops, and great downtown...

We took Highway 93 south out of Missoula, Montana and then Highway 12.....driving southwest.....along the Lochsa River..... An hour later we parked at the trailhead for the Clearwater Warm Springs and then hiked into one of the many magical forests that we had the privilege of visiting on...

Ace.....thanks.....hopefully more to come..... Our next stop was in Missoula, Montana to visit with the heart doctor..... I absolutely love this college town (the University of Montana is located here).....it has such great vibes.....and great people.....definitely one of my favorite towns...

Why not recreate your story here ? Post up a trip report with lots of pictures ? Some of us only come here to read the trip reports and unfortunately they've pretty much died out. It sounds like an awesome trip and I'm sure a bunch of us would enjoy reading it. Your post leaves us wanting more.....

Great stuff.....really looking forward to your next post(s). Thanks so much for sharing and allowing us to follow along.....

That first night.....it got cold.....close to freezing. After coffee & breakfast, we took another long walk along Carter Creek Road. There was little traffic the day before.....almost none. The next morning there was none.....we walked where we pleased..... We walked past the same forests and...

ITTOG.....that ain't happening.....I'm finishing up a book real soon and then I'm planning on reading Grizzly Confidential next..... We weren't in any hurry the morning that we left the cabin.....again..... It was cold the day before with a mix of snow and rain.....not unusual for the...

Books.....well, I read one more. It was another really good book by Chris Bonington.....and the pictures.....so many great pictures.....both color and black & white..... The shadows appeared as a mountain on the books' page.....how appropriate..... I finally got around to building a box...

Usually when I talk of friends, I'm speaking about the wildlife. But its not always that way.....sometimes it's people that I'm talking about. I made time to visit the neighbors that live on a neighboring property.....he likes stickers too..... We don't agree on everything.....but that...

Ace.....I'll bet that place was once a real wonderland. I would have loved to have seen that canyon when the river flowed free prior to the construction of the Yellowtail Dam..... Foy.....I was looking around on the internet, reading a few articles, nothing specific.....and it seemed to me that...

All along this was a planned short trip.....a week at most.....so after this hike we deicided that it was time to go home. We had already made plans for yet another trip in just a few weeks.....so I really wanted to get home and have some down time at the cabin..... On the way out a sign...

AlwaysRoaming.....thanks for posting that. I was trying to figure that out but had no success..... Foy.....there appears to be quite a few caves in southeastern Montana. I haven't spent much time in that area but I think that I should. Maybe this summer I'll make a return.....I'm not sure. I've...

Current bid is at $6,500.....and then I made a quick check before posting and.....current bid is at $7,500..... Current bid is at $8,500..... Current bid is $9,000..... Current bid is $10,000.....

ITTOG.....you lasted longer than me. I was out at $2,000..... We continued to follow the trail as best as we could but we quickly ran into yet another problem. Google Maps, AllTrails, and OnX Hunt showed our intended mountain summit in a spot where the map contours would indicate that there...
