Road trip to NW Montana

Howdy y'all!  I got back a couple of days ago from a road trip to visit the folks.  After our graduation ceremony and I turned in the final grades I thought "I'm outta here!"  So I hit the road bound for Noxon, MT.  On the way up I got a chance to visit with Uncle Dave.  It was cool to see his art.  He has some really cool stuff cut out and polished.  

After talking to Dave I drove the last leg of my journey and arrived at Ma & Pa's place.  The first few days after I got there the weather was pretty good, so Dad and I went fishing for bluebacks at a small lake between Libby and Kalispell.  The fishing was awesome and we caught our limit.


After that first outing we did some work on a woodshed that Dad wanted to build and after a few days of doing that we went out for more fishing.  I had my doubts if we were going to catch our limit again, but sure enough we came back with another maxed out limit.

I think it would have been a tad greedy to go up for a third trip and limit out, so we worked on the woodshed some more.  After some hard work we had the walls completed and rafters nailed in place.  Dad still has to install a metal roof and some bracing, but when it is finished hopefully it will be a dry place to store firewood for years to come.

This video is for Dave.  He said that he liked my previous post about snowboarding a few years ago, so I thought I would upload another.  This video was taken at Bridger Bowl ski area north of Bozeman, MT.
