100 foot long 4 1/2 foot high free standing stone wall in Montana

4136 sunnyside cemetery road Stevensville, MT 59870 Otherwise known as the Great Wall of Stevi. Eric Kampel built this wall while living there in 2013 and 2014 in his spare time. His sons and him hauled over 20 tons of rock out of the local mountains for the project. Eric also credits Charles Mcraven for getting him started in Stone Masonry, Joe Conatser, for helping him start this wall and teaching him additional techniques, and Thea Alvin, for teaching him the fundamentals of dry stone arches.
