CONNIE'S HIGH SCHOOL FRIEND VISITS

Sharon came to visit us this summer and we hope she had a good time.  She has been up here a couple of other times and loves the little cabin she calls "her cabin" in Montana.  We put her to work helping out with the patio addition.  Also took her on a hike to the Bear Creek Overlook.  A great hike that does not take all day to complete.  We saw a lot of huckleberry pickers, and I have never seen so many huckleberries on the vine that I can remember.  And it was a dry year.  Goes to show you that what people say about what it takes to make a good berry crop might not be right after all!  Connie and Sharon left  Monday to head to Salt Lake City for their 40th High School Class Reunion.  They took a couple of days driving down there as they went through Yellowstone Nation Park.  A quick trip but Sharon had never seen the place so it was worth the time.

Sharon really likes to drive the tractor.  Here she has a load of rocks for the patio we are working on.

Getting the fire ready for roasting a marshmallow?

This is also Zeph's first trip to Bear Creek Overlook.  I am sure it will not be the last.

A really nice rock overlook.

If you click to enlarge, you can see the back of a squirrel that Zeph is watching run on the rock below.

An old dead snag that has been standing on the edge for years.


Having a little snack before heading back down.

That is the Bitterroot/Selway Wildrness area.

Lots of huckleberries this year.

Coming back down the trail.

This is a project that I have been working on for a few weeks now.  It is a patio off our sliding door off the kitchen.  Glad it is done.
