North of Missoula
Tim's family bought a spread up in the Sapphire Mountains... A base camp was set up to stay in while construction of a shed occurs. We went up to help work on the shed/cabin.
It goes without saying that any piece of Montana wildnerness is "beautiful" but this was truly a great spread. The plot was densely forested, was an old mining claim. Several suitable sites for building cabins. Bill had mostly completed a fantastic "shed" which was the same design as the unabomber cabin. We went up to work on the roof, but it was poor weather so we installed a door and window. He had a very tall ceiling with a great little loft. The base camp was quite comforatble too... Huge tent, outdoor kitchen. Lots of very fresh bear scat around, so loaded guns were standing by (bear season had just opened).
The recent rains had mushrooms of all types fruiting like crazy. I could have easily spent many days exploring this land, but we also wanted to visit Boris up in Ronan.
