I’ll let you in on a big secret. There is more to Montana than mountains, bears, and cowboys. For one, the Flathead Lake Monster lurks in the depths of Flathead Lake and also, dragons cruise its pristine waters.

Feline Philosophy
Garrison Keillor once said, “Cats are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has a purpose.” Sounds like a cool dude to me. I am much more interested in what’s for dinner than concerning myself with the setting of the sun. Tibbs seemed to think it was purrty. He’s […]

The Twin Fawns
Note: Just so you can’t say I didn’t warn you, there’s a picture of a dead animal at the end of this post. Adventure on the edge of the wilderness in Montana can take on many forms… David and I often see deer while cycling along the bike path in Kalispell, and I […]
A Star Party at Logan Pass in Glacier National Park
Adventure on the edge of the wilderness in rural Montana can take on many forms… Standing on the side of the road at 2 a.m. watching headlights creep towards us, plus getting scared out of our wits by the sound of a beaver’s tail slapping the river’s water, all in the spirit of searching skyward […]
The Best of Both Worlds
After my supervised excursion to the outdoors, I’ve been dying to go out again. And I have. Every chance I get I slink past the humans and go outside to nibble some grass and breathe in the fresh air. When I’m lucky they will stay outside with me for a couple of minutes, and […]
