Views from nearby
An area just north of here, called Elk Park. A valley, about 8 miles north, the closest a griz has been seen to Butte. I find this first one interesting....looks like a fairly typical early settlement log cabin, except for the bell tower at back. Looks like the stovepipe was added at some point. I don't know what the purpose for it was. Also, the overhang at the front, a porch, is unusual for this kind of structure. Anybody have any ideas?

Very foreboding skies. As for that building, I'd suggest gravity has done it's best to bring it down.
ReplyDeleteWhen you're probably 120 years old you might show the effects of gravity too.............
DeleteSuch a nice area. Love the cabin.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's deteriorated a bit over the last 15 years
DeleteThat cabin would make a great motif for a painting. Don't you suspect the overhang was a kind of weather break? A place to put on or take off snow shoes or bad weather gear.
ReplyDeletei don't know. Porches were so rare on dwellings of this sort 120 or so years ago. As were the 'bell tower'. I have no idea, and can't find local resources.
DeleteWithout the gravity we'd be a foot taller with compromised cardiovascular systems.
ReplyDeleteThe landscape there is spectacular.
yeah, it is, esp. when not on fire....

ReplyDeleteAny help?
been by the one in wise river many times, here's one that's still active, with I think 8 students, 1-8th grade
DeleteGreat pictures but were you armed with bear spray during your outing?
ReplyDeleteNo, just made sure I could outrun the person with me......
DeleteGreat photos Mike! I have no idea about that cabin, but I'm sure it could tell us some stories. A dark and moody looking sky that day.
