Adventure on the edge of the wilderness
This is a story of connections between celebrities; the story of actors from Brokeback Mountain, The Runaway Bride, and “24”. _________________________ Guess who was in line with me at Super 1 a few weeks ago? I can’t be absolutely certain that it was him, because I didn’t ask, but it definitely looked like him. He was good […]
I’ve got a lot of random thoughts going on around in my head this morning, so bear with me. Number One ~ I feel kind of funny. No, not the ha, ha kind of funny but the weird and eerie kind of funny. I was reading the morning paper when I ran across an article […]
I’m stumped again. Can anyone tell me what type of pine cone this is? I had never seen cones like this before. My husband spotted these little doozies on our hike last Saturday. I was up ahead on the trail and he called me to come back and take a look. He seemed really impressed and […]
….And now for the rest of the story. Tuesday’s post left you hanging as I took a tongue in cheek view of the boardwalk rules in Yellowstone National Park. My daughter had asked the question, “how did they build the boardwalks”, as we walked along a trail observing steaming hot springs and boiling water bubble out of the crust around […]
I thought it was a reasonable question when E asked, “How did they build the boardwalks?” Boardwalks, the foremost means of seeing the sights in Yellowstone. We were walking around on the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest super volcano on the continent. Let me correct myself, we were not actually walking on the crust but on the […]
We were on the road between Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton when we saw the bear jam. We figured it was a bear jam, at least I did. But, it could have been buffalo, elk, or moose. Buffalo had caused a major traffic jam earlier in the day when they insisted on taking their good […]
Ghost towns, badgers, geysers, Tetons, bears, elk, cowboys, history, plus the natural beauty of the west are just some of the ways to describe our 4th of July road trip. Did I mention it was kind of chilly? To wear or not wear my jacket was a question I kept asking myself the entire trip. It wasn’t as […]
How many changes have you seen around your town lately? Has a building been torn down? Has a new store been built? Has a business relocated? Does a parking lot now cover some green space? Is there a new signal light where there wasn’t one? Look around, I bet you’ll find lots of little changes. Did you […]
While skipping stones at the river, I mentioned to the kids that I used to know the world record, but had since forgot. On the radio the next day, they announced the world record for stone skipping. ~ quoted from the article titled Answers by Grandpa Davey. David the stone skipper. Are you a stone […]
Ladies? Ever open your husband’s mail? Wait, don’t answer! The answer may tend to incriminate you. Can you believe it is a felony, yes a felony, to open your husband’s mail if you reside in Montana? That’s right. I was reminded of this quirky law when I received the dentist bill with my name handwritten […]
