Ralph Thayer Returns
To Big Creek Station
For 35th N.F. Season
HUNGRY HORSE NEWS PHOTO

1t will be Ranger Ralph Thayer
er's 35th season UP the North
Fork this year as he helps re-
open the Flathead national for
est's Big Creek station, Monday.
Big Creek, % miles north of
! Columbia Falls, is headquarters
for the North Fork district of 354,-
900 acres just west of Glacier ma
tional park. Sixty per cent of the
land is spruce forest, with much
of the other being covered with
larch, fir and pine. There are less
than so people living year around
in the entire mountain area, while
the adjoining section of Glacier ma
tional park has permanent popu-
lation of two rangers.
Two exploits of Ranger Thayer
have become forest service hist
DRY. During the last week of De-
cember, 1916, he was stopped by
blizzard at Fool Hen hill, 16 miles
north of Columbia Falls. Thayer
dug hole in the snow; put up a
blanket for a door; found a stump
that served as wood supply; built
fire, and lived through 21s days
of 20 below weather with no i'll
effects.
In a previous year, Thayer had
an encounter with a grizzly bear
while out on trail. He didn't get
up the tree fast enough, and re-
ceived leg injuries.
Also reporting at Big Creek
Monday will be District Ranger
John Castles; John Stentz, dist
riot dispatcher; Clinton Spindler,
