We were the only ones in there the past two nights. Barkeep is only there from 4:40 until about 6:30 PM. Just no demand, I guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 Sunday we got out and about early and ventured off onto to some dirt trails. Saw an old cabin with interesting construction features like a stone foundation. Can even see the moon in the last pic in the cloudy skies over Montana.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 Not really in the "mountains" in this area, just small hills. But there were no other people for miles around and the solitude was kinda cool... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had to build a cabin by yourself and maybe a wife to help, you'd build it outta wood as it's easy to do and there's a shitload of trees around, No stonemasons out in the wild to help you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Working from my phone from home, I can't even understand the effort to build a house using chopped down trees by yourself or as a couple using only hand tools. Building that trying to make it before winter, while sourcing food as well. And then you still make it with enough quality that it endures more than a century of harsh winters?

And summer is only 2-1/2 months long! Amazing that they could build these things at all. I sure as shit couldn't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
