Actually, that is Pete Creek Road, in the Yaak River Valley in MT, which is way up in the NW corner of the state, about as off-the-grid as you can get. It's an old USFS logging road (NF-338) that goes some 20+ miles into the forest before it ends short of the Canadian border. I was hanging out hoping to see a bear (There are both grizzlies and black bears up there.) when that bugger wandered out of the forest. He didn't see me until I shouted "Yesssss!" It stopped to check me out, which gave me time to fire up the camera. Then it wandered off towards Pete Creek.
While in rehab last year I was looking at real estate listing up there. This is a photo from one of those listings taken from inside the house. Here, kitty kitty.
