cook stove, didnt work. Heater, didnt work. No cots as listed in materials provided.

Once we got there it was amazing. However, we came up Forest Rd 568 to drive the Lolo Motorway and that turned out to be a bad idea. It was in terrible shape east-west on 500. Took us over 6 hours on that route to get to the lookout once we left hardball. 107 was fine on the way out. Everything on FR 500 including the shortest route to Castle Butte is really really really bad. We had a 4WD truck with high wheel clearance, partially deflated the tires and we really thought we might be hiking out. We made it, but I won't do that again.

The Good Everything other than what I mention below. The views were great, the cabin was well stocked, etc. The two complaints I have (and one is not due to the cabin) are, The road in is in very bad shape. I rode this years ago but it is very rough now, even for 4wd. My only complaint with the cabin was the propane stove and light. It had such a bad leak when turned on it was unusable. Besides the smell, the safety factor made it unusable. Luckily we had another way to heat food and lamps. Other than that, a fun experience that I highly recommend. Did I mention the 5am views?
