We will have a shuttle service on the day of the 24th. Please do not drive into the property on Saturday and use the shuttle instead. The shuttle will pick people up at Silver Gate, Cook City, and the overlook by the ranch road entrance. Pick-up time and more details to come.
Please confirm with Alex and Alec if you wish to camp on the property. -If you do camp, make sure you have a plan for food storage (we will have a shed to store food if needed) this is grizzly bear country so make sure you are being safe!! -If you are driving a car please come on Friday. We are ONLY having the shuttle drive the road on Saturday because it is a one lane road. If you do come Saturday you can hop on the shuttle with your camp stuff that day. Or camp at Pilot Creek (the shuttle pickup). -We will have outhouses and water stations on the property. -No smoking or fires. This time of year often has extreme fire danger. Please be careful and also avoid driving into tall grass with a hot car. -We will have someone on the property on Friday to direct you to camping spots.
The L-T (pronounced L bar T) is a small group of cabins that have been in Alex's family since her great grandmother purchased it after she visited in the early 1900's. She ended up selling the big parcel but saved around 6 acres that run along the Clark Fork of the Yellowstone river to pass down to her family.
There are multiple airports that you can fly into! -Bozeman, MT (where X&C live) is about a 3 1/2 hour drive through Yellowstone to get to the Ranch -Billings, MT about a 2 3/4 hour drive to get to the Ranch. -Cody, WY about a 1 1/2 hour drive to get to the Ranch.
