Awesome Badass Buck! Deer With Broken Leg Beats the Odds and Survives

October 9, 2017 Marlene Leave a comment Life is an Adventure, TrailCam, Wildlife
Broken Legged Deer

The Strong Survive Seven months ago, I posted a video to Facebook titled “Sometimes Life Sucks”. In the clip was a deer with a broken leg, stumbling through the pitch dark woods in a snowstorm. Life couldn’t get worse, however, we knew that nature would soon end his terrible suffering. Guess who came by on […]

Buck’s Legacy

November 4, 2013October 9, 2017 Marlene 1 Comment Glacier Country, Life is an Adventure, Wildlife

The explosion of the shot pierced the early morning quiet of the forest as I was about to prepare myself a bowl of baked oatmeal. “Already?” I thought to myself. Looking through the window, I saw David sitting quietly in his chair beside his truck. It was a cold and damp morning, so I grabbed […]

The Turkey Trot or Wild Turkey Mating Dance is Amazing!

April 23, 2013November 19, 2018 Marlene Leave a comment video, Wildlife

Adventure on the edge of the wilderness can take on many forms and one of them is watching wildlife and learning about the turkey trot.     Toms and hens have been having a wild turkey parade on our lawn; the gobblers having harems of 20 or more females! It’s mating season and the males […]

The Spirit of the West: Unchanged

November 9, 2012October 23, 2017 Mallory Leave a comment Glacier Country, Historical

It was once mused that the character of a city is formed by the character of its founders; this rings true especially when we discuss the towns of the Flathead Valley. Late in the 19th century, the city of Kalispell was brought to life by settlers hailing from all across the country. They all shared […]

Visiting the Shay in Columbia Falls

November 6, 2012November 17, 2012 Marlene 2 Comments Glacier Country, Historical, Life is an Adventure

Adventure on the edge of the wilderness can take on many forms…   We crossed the railroad tracks and were heading into town when I made the decision to stop at Depot Park. My family and I had passed the park going to and from town since moving to Columbia Falls; the park is small […]

The Lonesome Sound of the Passing Train

October 23, 2012September 11, 2013 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country

Adventure on the edge of the wilderness in Montana can take on many forms…     Moving to a new home is like a whirlwind, a flurry of activity, a tumultuous time of excitement, confusion, and disorder. It’s a time of change to be embraced. And if you let it flow, out of the chaos […]

Before They Had Cat Ladies and Old Maids….

October 10, 2012November 19, 2018 Mallory 2 Comments Glacier Country, Historical

…the Flathead Valley had these fellows. This photograph taken from a historical book about the Flathead Valley caught my eye. Two of the men in the photograph advertising “Wives Wanted” are holding cats.     Adventurous men traveled to the Montana frontier in the 1800’s and 1900’s looking for work and hoping for  success. Many […]
