Woodpile Envy
Adventure on the edge of the wilderness in Montana can take on many forms… My definition of woodpile envy: when an individual has a preoccupation of observing other peoples woodpiles as to the size, quantity, and quality of their logs. This certainly applies to me as I’ve been looking at woodpiles for years […]
Dragons in Flathead Lake!
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. Recently, many of the dragons made an appearance at the first annual Dragon Boat Races in Montana. The […]
Geocaching in Bear Country
Adventure on the edge of the wilderness in Montana can take on many forms… When we got out of the truck and began our geo-hunt, I had no clue what was in store for us other than the usual search for a geocache. I knew it would be cleverly hidden somewhere off of the […]
A Star Party at Logan Pass in Glacier National Park

Aug. 14 – Huckleberries have been especially plentiful on the […]
Glacier National Park – See the Sights Before the Sun Sets
“Far away in northwestern Montana, hidden from view by clustering mountain peaks, lies an unmapped corner – the Crown of the Continent.” –George Bird Grinnell, “Father” of Glacier National Park. One of the wonderful things about living in Kalispell, Montana is its proximity to Glacier National Park. We can get ready, leave in mid-afternoon, see […]
Avalanche Lake Hike – Beating A Record
Many times I don’t want to go to Glacier, though I usually end up enjoying myself while I am there. I think I imagine that I would be doing something more fun and exciting at home. It was quite the same when plans were made to hike to Avalanche Lake after the tour of […]
