Our base camp at Hanh Creek is right beside Young's Creek, one of the tributaries to the world famous South Fork of the Flathead River.  September and October offer fantastic fly fishing.  Your combination permit includes a fishing license, if you want to try your hand at fishing after you get your elk.

Lake Upsata News and Stuff

April 6, 2008- Howdy Everybody!  It's supposed to be spring here in the Blackfoot Valley, but Mother Nature forgot to update her program here.  We still have a foot of frozen "snow helmet" on all the pastures, I'm still hauling water because the lake is totally frozen, and there is no hope in sight for the pastures... yet.  But, it will come, and we can't wait to head for the hills.

A quick note on Julie- She and I are leaving for Boston on 4/18.  She is running the Boston Marathon!  Watch for her on TV.  She'll be the one that's running (amongst the other 25,000).  We're all quite proud of what she has accomplished, so be sure to keep checking here.  I'll post how she did on this page when we get back.

May 1, 2008- Well- we survived the big city.  Julie did GREAT at the race.  She finished 2895 overall, 211 women, and 37 in masters women.  Take a moment to read this great article in the local paper http://www.missoulian.com/articles/2008/04/30/sports/sports02.txt   We met up with Ted and Jen Ashburn of Boston.  They were here a few years ago on a vacation.  "Thank you" to them for their great hospitality and to Jen for giving us a wonderful tour of the city.  If you ever get a chance to go to Boston, do so.  It's a great place!

Just wanted to update everyone on what's new:

We still have room for some more hunters in our Bob Marshall camp.  We did not fill all of our openings with guaranteed tags before the March 15th deadline.  We could still take 10-12 more hunters.  So, if you're a Montana resident that never had a chance to hunt the wilderness of the Bob Marshall, or you're a non-resident that drew a tag this spring, give us a call.  We would love to hear from you. All we need is a hunter with a 2008 tag.

June 2-6- Chris Bohenek will be here at the ranch giving one of his "Core Balance" horsemanship clinics.  This is a chance you don't want to pass up.  You'll spend the entire week with Chris learning the best horsemanship techniques available; you'll leave here with new skills and confidence, learned on the same trails you loved so much on your vacations at Lake Upsata.  This is no 'arena clinic'.  You'll be in the saddle, with your horse, getting specific, personal instruction every day.  And, when your day is done, it's up to the lodge for that famous Lake Upsata food; then spend a relaxing evening on the deck or in the hot tub.  For additional information go to www.bohenekhorsemanship.com or go to our 'Specialty Weeks" page.  Or you can just call us here at the ranch. We'd love to hear from you.

We are now taking reservations for overnight stays in the cabins for you folks just passin' through the beautiful Blackfoot Valley.  This is the best deal in town.  $110 per night, double occupancy, with breakfast!  You can't pass that up, can you.  Give us a call at 1-800-594-7687, and we'll leave the light on for you... did I just steal that from someone else...?

Anyway, things are all good here at the ranch.  Rod is still guarding the deck, the kids are growing like weeds, Julie is running miles and miles with her beloved Border Collies, and we just keep going!  Stay tuned and check in with us often.  We have a lot of things on the docket.  We'll put them on our Specialty Weeks page or post them here. 

Talk to you soon,

Greg

So until we see you, remember-

 This place is going to change your life!
