West Fork (of the Teton River) Cabin

A forest service cabin is a great place for a birthday party! So for Lucas' brithday, a bunch of us headed up to Choteau to a cabin right next to the Teton Pass ski hill. Luckily, Lucas brought a pair of 4-wheelers; the first half mile of road was snowed in. The wheelers were light enough to stay on top, Travis learned the hard way that his truck was too heavy. I failed to take any photos of the cabin somehow. Take my word for it, it has everything you need and is really cool. We had all kinds of big plans to go bc skiing and or rock climbing but for some reason, mother nature decided to snow on us. No biggy though. A wildfire from a year or two ago provided more than enough firewood for a consistently huge and hot bonfire. We got some drinking done and fun was had by all!
It started off as 80*  shorts and sandals weather. The toboggan came in uber handy for towing piles of gear across the snow.
Some fire-twirling entertainment (thats a hula hoop with 5 fire balls/wicks).


Most of the crew, minus 4 of us.
Bo bo bo bo bo Bonfire!
Here is an example of the kind of logs we were using. I know for a fact we burned at least 4 cords of wood in two nights...



Piles of wood like this would burn in hours! I couldnt believe it! I term really really big pieces of firewood 'all nighters.' We put on all-nighters after all-nighters after all-nighters and they would burn in a matter of hours! Nothing lasted all night. It was pretty windy but the forest was damp/wet so we didnt have any wildfire concerns. Not to mention everything had just burned last year.

Now thats a MT-esque photo for you; a bunch of natives smokin' cigarettes, drinkin' beer and shootin' guns. 
The Ramp that we hoped to climb. I have never seen such a 'plane' of rock like that. 
Same photo with a cool filter on it. We should have to pay Neil to party with us!
