Wasn't really planning anything 'formal' but just thinking. I have
contacts out there and plenty of places to fish. Best time to go is the
first two weeks of August.

My friends there are in Augusta, MT, a small town of about 5 bars, one
gas station, a couple of cafes and a gift shop. Very "Western". It's
o.k. with most if your dog goes in with you. It's possible they might
prefer the dog.

It's about 20 mi.straight west to the mountains and the trail head.
Other directions, if you know the right people, are trout filled brooks,
reservoirs (one of which has pike) and the lower Sun river, which has
some very nice browns.

By the way, Augusta is about 60 mi. straight west of Great Falls.

Would like to horse pack into the Bob Marshall and perhaps, over
the divide into White River country, although, that might be a bit

last round of fire but would like to see it anyway.

We live in NW Montana and I have hiked and ridden into the Bob
Marshall
We now have 2 horses w hoprefully another one or 2 & 1 or 2 mules
yet to
come

(in case my wife is reading this - I want a mule or 2 for Christmas-
We have the 40 acres - As a matter of fact we should have 4 mules)

I do not know where the White River is ??
Sun River - yes
We usually go in through the north western estern edges at near
Galcier Park
by Essex - Beaver creek in the NW.
When hiking in (twice) we flew into Shaeffer Meadows.

It all maty be too strenuous for me now - also
as I have not gotten any younger in the past 11 yrds of living here.

Where are you thinking about going in and taking out?
Great Falls?

and When?

Thanks
Fred
