Hi Mike,

     Yes, that is the place! Boy, what a small world:-)
There are only 70 residents that live in Stehekin. All goods have
to be shipped in by boat or float plane. While we were there a
barge came in and dropped off some stuff. Packed into the middle
of it all were 3 Norwegian Fjords. They had made the trip like 3
little troopers and were not bothered at all when some of the stuff
was moved so they could offload onto the beach. Three small kids
jumped on them bareback with halters and a lead rope for reins and
rode them back to the corral. Nothing seemed to rattle these little
horses. This would be a great place for a kid to grow up, and there is
no crime in this little town!
 
 
 ->    We rode mountain bikes and saw three bears,
 -> lots of mule deer, Mt.goats,
 -> and a young cougar that came into town after a
 -> house cat.(The cat got away:)
 
  MM> Was this on the Fjords or didn't you ride them?
 
       We rented Mt. bikes and went exploring. Didn't have time to
go horse riding, darn it. I am going to make another trip there this
summer (if it ever quits raining:) We will either hike in or I will
ride Walker.
