Kootenai Creek Fire Time Lapse by EYEinI from rc cone on Vimeo.

I’ve realized in the past few years, the only place, or anything for that matter,  that has held my heart for a period of time is st. mary’s lookout.  the only ’stability’ in my life has come to me in the form of a mountain home atop a 9,350 ft beast of a peak 4 miles into the Bitterroot Selway wilderness.  breathing fresh mountain air, listening to mysterious, far-off waterfalls, plucking out banjo songs that shouldn’t be played on banjo, and going insane in the best introspective way possible; nothing and nobody has offered me more energy than this place.  the lookout allows me to dream BIG and I am thankful that the universe hooked me and the good ol’ mary up.

I’ve sketched and wrtiten alot in the past week, so i am going to start sharing some of my insanity here.  i hope someone enjoys it.
