Rattlesnake


I finally made it up into Rattlesnake wilderness.  It is 35,000 acres of wilderness and mountains.  It's only four miles north of Missoula.  I only spent an afternoon up there, but people spend weeks backpacking all around there.  It is prime country from what I hear.  I am hoping to spend more time there.  There are seriously like a gagilion black bears in there.  Scary!  With such limited time, we just went a couple miles up one of the trail to this old cabin that was occupied by the curry family in the late 1800's.



--This is Rattlesnake Creek
--This are very Missoula-ish red and green rocks

--I think this was their root cellar

--And of course, this is Montana so people shot it with guns
 --This is the cabin       

--This doorway became sick and puked

--It appears that Mrs. Curtis enjoyed a white kitchen and blue windows

--I don't know why this is underlined but I cant fix it.  
--It is fall here, but it feels kind of like Washington's winter.  I have decided to call it "Finter"
