Our Trip to Montana

Brandon and I flew up to Montana last week to spend a little time with Fred and the pets.  We flew into Bozeman where Fred met us with a rented RV.  We drove to Wyoming and camped outside of Cody the first night.  We then drove to Cody and camped.  We visited to Cody Museum and watched the 4th of July parade.  We then drove the Beartooth Highway and went through Yellowstone and camped outside of Gardiner. We headed home to Helena on the 5th.  We spent the rest of the time there around the house. Brandon got to drive Fred's old pick-up truck.  He did a good job. We rode 4-wheelers up to the look out tower at the top of Hogback Mountain, hiked in the creek and took family pictures.  We worked on the little cabin and outhouse getting it ready to hopefully rent out to hunters and campers.  Fred and Brandon made the flower holder out of willow branches.

Table

 

 

This weekend I took apart an old building that was on our place. It was used as a fish smoker in the old days and may have been an outhouse before that. The wood looked pretty rough when laying on the trailer..

 

 

 

With a little sanding, the old saw marks stand out.

 

I used some of it to make a table for the little cabin. It turned out pretty well and looks like an antique.

New addition

 

I came for a short visit and someone was happy to see me.

 

While on my visit, we went and picked up our newest addition - Blizzard (Freckles)
