    2018 REI Dividends

    $67 I don't have the CC, but bought new ski gear last year. Probably spend the dividend on an ice axe...

    Old buildings/Ghost Towns

    This is a cool idea for a thread. I do like finding old structures when out in the backcountry. This old miner's cabin was at Ajax Lake, just below the Montana/Idaho border in the Beaverhead Mountains: Not much left of this one at the base of Mount Haggin in the Anaconda Range:

    Old buildings/Ghost Towns

    There was some pretty major spring flooding on Grasshopper Creek a few years ago, which flooded most of the town of Bannack. I think they've since permanently closed quite a few of those buildings due to the flood damage. The last time I was there, I think 3 or 4 years ago, the visitor's...

    Album Weather, Storms and Clouds

    Just going through some older photos and found this from a few summer's ago. Was scrambling up a peak with some friends when this storm started blowing in. This was taken right at the Highland Mountain lookout viewing to the Southwest.

    Does @Scatman need to go?

    Serious question, though, @scatman , you didn't happen to be on Borah Peak last August in a kilt, did you? When I hiked it this summer there were two guys in kilts, but I don't remember exactly what they looked like. I may have passed you without even knowing it. Would've given you the hand...

    What would make BCP better?

    I am probably one of those members you refer to that contributes here and there to threads, but I have never posted a trip report. There's a few reasons: 1. Some of you are not only great photogs, but also great creative writers. I am neither. My photos are "ok", but I am certainly not a...

    Best place to live?

    You mean that black slag isn't good garden soil? HAHA, makes for nice bunkers at the golf course, though... No, but seriously, the outdoor opportunities here are endless, but yes Butte and Anaconda have their own environmental drawbacks.

    What would make BCP better?

    Is there a way to easily find your own posts within a thread? When browsing through the forum menus, there is an icon that shows up on a thread with my own profile pic, showing that I have contributed to that thread? But, then I still have to go searching through the entire thread to find...

    Guess the spot

    OK, then, what was the answer to the last one? LOL I was just cross country skiing near Paradise Valley last weekend. I don't think it was the same place as your picture, but I couldn't place it.

    Best place to live?

    Honestly, don't overlook Butte. We've got an impressive amount of options for hiking/backpacking right out our back door. If you're into mountain biking, we host one of the best mountain bike races in the West every July. And if you're into national parks, we are nicely situated between...
