Bear Tree

Leaning up against this tree is a Possibles bag along with a .50 cal. Black Powder Hawkin Rifle.  Here a bear ripped the bark off the tree while looking for food.  The sound makes you take notice as it echoes through the woods.

A Place for Everything

Handmade by Gina Janelli

There were many different styles of this pouch made.  It was the pocket for the buckskinner which carried the smaller items that were needed for their life in the mountains.

Preparing for Evening

The trees are still holding the last touch of sun and warmth.  The crisp mountain air says it is time to start the fire and get settled in for the night.  As the sky fills with stars, the night hawks dive about getting their dinner and the elk are talking and playing in the meadow nearby.  When it comes, sleep is full of peace.
