We will be in Montana all of next week and we think it would be much more fun if we had friends or family or both come with us. We just realized about a week and a half ago, that Roger would have a lot of time off over the fourth and we would be able to afford this vacation. Also, just found out that the family members who had planned to be there over this time, won't be able to make it, so we will have the place to ourselves. So, I know it's short notice, but a spur of the moment vacation can be so much more fun than a planned for vacation. So please, somebody be fun and come on vacation with us.
Pictures of the most beautiful place ever! My Great, Great Grandparents homesteaded here in the early 1900s. There is their original log cabin they built when they first homesteaded here, the home they built in the 1920s (I call it the "white house" or "the old house" - because that's what color it was when I was a child), and a house with plumbing built in 1978 (I call it "the cabin" - because that is where we usually stay when we visit). There is also the barn and a few other old buildings on the property.
This is the view of the cabin from the road. My sister, Kari, took these pictures when we were there the summer of 2004.
Another picture taken from the road, but in this one you can see the old house and the cabin.
This is the few, sitting outside the old house.
The barn is behind the trees and off to the left is their original home.
This is a picture of Bowman Lake in Glacier National Park.

Another view of the original home my great, great grandparents built.
This is the kitchen in the old house. It feels like you are walking back in time.

A few from the road.
This is the road out in front of the property. Roger and I encountered a grizzly bear in this area on Roger's first visit. Roger remained calm and I freaked out! I started screaming and ran for my life back to the cabin. Roger, of course, had to follow. Luckily, the bear ignored me and continued to walk away in the other direction.
This is Alissa on the driveway from the road to the cabin.
