I miss GreyLynx too.

Just outside of Cowley there is Massacre Butte. A wagon train of explorers/settlers up from (I think) Missouri by way of Montana (about 40 people in all) were surprise attacked by a rebound Blackfoot Warrior and his crew. Some reports say only one survivor was left, others report total casualties. The butte was supposedly a frequent lookout point used when the natives would camp along the flats by the Crowsnest River.

*** more famously... It is also the site where I heroically and relentlessly pursued the largest mulie in the local herd known that year as the 'Magnificent Seven' bout 10 years ago...

I took the 177 buck at very last light laying down , with a million mile an hour wind, open sights 176 paces... With my 303Enfield. He took 10 steps and dropped(More famously in my mind at least.... )
