Looks like we made it....

Three days road travel, over 1200 miles completed thus far...and yesterday...we reached our destination...



Some of Hubby's motorcycle buddies are joining us.




Until yesterday, we only knew of them through their online blogs.




Now? I feel like we have friends who live in Oregon and Vancouver, BC!





Meet Mickey...




Mickey was the Russian immigrant who immigrated to the Valley in the late 1890s and set up a homestead (MT word for Ranch). His descendents continue to live here and a couple decades ago left the ranching life and now use their assorted cabins as vacation rentals.




We were told it was to be a rustic experience.



the only guarantee was indoor plumbing...



supplemented by some outdoor options





but as you can see from the smiles, rustic works for us!

I've never blogged in the bright sunshine with a weak signal so I don't feel like spending a lot of time fiddling with the format. I want to get back to enjoy the quiet life!

That looks like a great location for a vacation. Quiet, rustic and there's lots of trees.

Have fun!

Camping but with with four solid walls and indoor plumbing. I like it! Enjoy the quiet life while you can.

is that a porta-pottie on the front porch? I have a phobia about those. Love the country side, beautiful. Loved the Indian sculpture on your last post

Oh my, I didn't notice the porta-pottie before. Note to self: even the term "indoor plumbing" is subjective these days. Hopefully the scenery will help to make up for the loss of life's little pleasures.
