Just what will happen to Tom Robak's beautiful dream log home on the West Fork of the Bitterroot River, just below the confluence with Nez Perce Creek? Will he have to tear it down before it's even finished or will he prevail in court? All we can say is stay tuned.

We trust you can make up your own mind.

Meanwhile, back to our regularly scheduled programming:
