Montana Camping

[JerryandSusie]

My perfect campsite: I pull up in my 5th wheel, unhook, get the awning and lawn chairs out, start a fire and wade out in the river or stream and do a little fly fishing while Susie sits by the campfire reading a book. Now all I have to do is clean the fish.:B

Check out the Montana Fishing Access sites. It's on the state DNR website. Many of them allow overnight camping.

I do love Montana.

I have acquired a great history in Montana: a relative was a sheriff in Virginia City, a deep-shaft mine in Butte named after another relative, and another the head engineer for the Anaconda Company. My cousins used to work in Yellowstone NP and I would stay with them and explore in the park when I was a kid. We just placed my mother's ashes beside the "M" in Butte where she was born.

We have friends that have a 32,000 acre ranch with 3 miles on the Yellowstone River and a mile long spring creek in the Paradise Valley south of Livingston. It's rated as one of the best fly-fishing streams in America and part of a "A River Runs Through It" was filmed there. We visit there every September, and cook for the friends/ranchers in exchange for fishing and camping. A truly magical experience.

Nothing compares to Montana. What a gem you have discovered. I'm envious.
