Our first stop on the jet boat trip was a stop at a place called Buckskin Bill's where we ate a lovely picnic lunch courtesy of Nancy and her family. This place is a home and museum along the river and is only accessible by jet boat. Buckskin Bill moved to this location in 1936 and lived a very rustic life until he died in 1980.
This is the Buckskin Bill Tower. This website says this stone gun tower was built in defiance of the forest service which was threatening to take away his right to live along the river. Lucky for them, they let him stay.
Check out this site for a virtual tour of the museum.
Our next stop was Mackay Bar which is a beautiful guest ranch located on the river not far from Buckskin Bill's. The kids were offered horse rides and said no at first, but why not?
Riding with a halter, bareback and shoeless on a sweet horse out in the middle of nowhere. It's a good life.
The beach at Mackay bar was covered in beautiful butterflies.
So pretty!

Was that Buckskin as pretty in person, as it photographed? What a honey!
