While involved with a family trek w/in Billings through Bozeman, we had an opportunity to walk through MSU's, Museum of the Rockies.
Any traveling through, it's worth the stop.
Had me thinking back to the different odds and ends discovered throughout life's journeys outdoors. My father roamed many of our public lands dedicated to locating early human locations, focused on the fur trappers and traders of our Rendezvous days. The collection he displayed was a museum in itself, albeit mainly a china cabinet or two... Most items left as they stayed, many items donated to museums fitting their area of interest.
Anyhow, I've come across many old, almost unidentifiable "cabins" of past days during hunts and hikes. Items here and there. Best find was an intact Ben Franklin type glasses.
We are probably one of the main groups of people who traverse our outdoors extensively. What special artifacts have you come across?
