Hi Steven

Welcome and LOVE the country you live in!!!!

I was stationed at Malmstrom for almost 9 years and was sorry to leave.  I hunted in the bitterroot every year for bow hunting elk.

Now that I am 100% disabled I told my wife if I could ever get a few acres in the bitterroot with a small stream I would buy it and have someone help me build a small cabin to live there.
That is my dream of course.

Turning is wonderfully fun and I have taught a lot of vets and kids how to do it and Reed Gray who goes by Robo Hippy is one of my best friends and lives in Oregon.

Be great to meet you sometime but a long drive from Iowa. Sad
