Courtneys who live up the Stehkin Valley. Shown Here is Tom, Jim and His Son Gordon. They were featured 30 years ago in " Mountain Families Of America". Tom Runs The Barge and they all work hard to keep the valley open. There is only 600 acres of private land in the Valley ,which they own the most of. ALways a "Dogfight" to keep the government from taking over that land as well as it is surrounded National Park and Rec Land... These folks are " True Heros " of the west..
