Historical Journeys in Missoula


One day, Cindy, our host for this stop, took us to the Ninemile Remount Depot and Ranger Station. She arranged for a great private tour.


Horses and mules are raised and boarded here to assist in transporting people and equipment necessary for managing our backcountry.


There is a blacksmith shop here. Apparently, mules really hate for anyone to touch their feet, so that can be a problem.


The Saddle Shop has a huge sewing machine!


We finally got to go outside, and immediately the mules and horses came over to say hello.


Our studs posed in front of the Stud Barn.


But I got distracted by all the Swallow Nests.


We also drove out to an old CCC Camp. There's not much left except for the foundations -


And a really nice chimney.

I'm just loving Missoula!
