Camping With Aliens In Montana

Ten minutes out of town, we found the dirt road that goes up to Storm Lake. Had we been there before, shortly after moving to Anaconda, Montana. The road was hard on the car, but were unable to resist this year. This time he rises to the tundra and spend the night. My wife Ana had never been camping above the tree line.

Cars were a couple, but no one in sight. The lake sparkled in the sun, the Anaconda mountain range Pintle all rose around him. E 'was quiet and cool here at 8,000 meters. We put on our backpacks and began the journey. Twenty minutes later we went to the lagoon and the steep trail. Walking with arms in Montana After an hour of zig-zag down the mountain we met another hiker. We talked for a while and I noticed the pistol in his belt. This is common in Montana. We've seen the guns on the trails and in the bars, and a bank teller did not even blink when customers come into use weapons - you'll probably have them. We never called that because it had a walker, and could not find later that there Grizzlies in the area, at times, something some "experts" have denied. At least we had our freon horn hose if we meet a bear, but then maybe you just get angry bear.

The trees got smaller as we climbed, and ended just before Storm Lake Pass. Ana waited patiently over and I met five minutes - which became twenty - up to the summit of Mount tiny, about 10,000 feet. Small compared to some of the surrounding mountains, but it seemed almost rude to give a beautiful mountain a name like that. Later, past goat meadow, Ana waited again while scrambled up the rocks to the top of Kurt's highest peak (about 10,000 feet).

I could not find the location where you come, so I went up, and then on the west side and finally back north to the grassy slope where Ana was waiting. Perhaps it was foolish to leave Ana alone. Only three months later, two children were attacked by a mountain lion on the hill behind the town of Anaconda. Fourteen years, fired his gun to scare off. Both boys were probably larger than my wife gunless. Fortunately, did not meet any cougars or bears on this hike, but Ana had other things to worry about. Camping with foreigners in Montana "I heard voices," said the store that night. He assured me that there was nobody within ten miles of us, and then he was worried about aliens landing in the meadow. Well, it's a good landing site.

The wind threatened to shatter the store all night, which sounds like the whispers or screams of ghosts - or aliens. In the morning the wind gave way, but was well below freezing - time to go home Ana Despite the cold she hates so much, Ana could not stop for a view as we crossed the high meadows on the way return. Mountains, with the gray stone, green with grass and flowers, and painted with white patches of snow, everywhere. Lagos sat in valleys, unvisited for weeks at a time. Let's get back there again, but perhaps with bear spray and alien repellant. Note: Forty-five-mile Continental Divide Trail pass through the desert Pintle-Anaconda.

Other trails in the area are not widely used. You can easily find mountains and whole valleys where you will be the only human residents for the remaining time. Steve Gillman hit the road at sixteen, and traveled to the United States and Mexico alone at 17. Now, 40 years, traveling with his wife Ana, whom he met in Ecuador.
