Six of us headed out to Montana to do some fly fishing. We rented a Forest Service Cabin; a log homestead built in 1917. It sits in the valley between tree topped hills along side a small rocky creak that flows into a bigger rocky creek where we fished.
The fall landscape is beautiful. Winding blue water framed by Golden grass covered fields and tall green pines with red bark; tree covered hills with Rocky outcrops; brilliant blue skies with billowing white clouds.
The two story cabin had a propane stove and lights. It didn’t have a refrigerator, so we kept our food in coolers on ice. A shed behind the house contained the pit toilet, shower and wood storage area. The largest part of the shed was occupied by wood, since we used the central wood stove to heat the house.
While painting the cabin I notice movement in grass, a mountain grouse was out foraging.
We spent most of our days fishing and relaxing on the porch. I caught and released several Rainbow and Brown Trout.
