Many conflicts with wildlife stem from unsecured garbage, food, and other attractants in human-occupied areas. Wildlife commonly travels through urban areas in southwestern Montana.

I can hardly believe it will be September at the end of this week! Where did the summer disappear to?

8+ YEARS AGO - August, Part II: The second half of August had a little more joy with the end of the Spanish-American War and Cuba free from the rule of Spain. Randolf Hearst had perfected "yellow journalism" with accounts of the war stating, "You furnish the pictures, and I will furnish the war." Instead of focusing on factual details of what was happening in Cuba, papers were running sensational headlines and shocking details of the battle. But all was not lost to war headlines. Caleb...

I suppose it’s the human thing on a hiking trail to acknowledge one another when passing. But on a well-used trail, the same comments come up time and time again. “Good Morning.” As an introvert I don’t understand why I have to say Good Morning to every member of a 30-person group. Nor does Good Afternoon roll off the tongue as nicely. Too many plosives and fricatives. Yesterday I got yelled at for not saying a cheery enough “Good Morning” to a passing hiker. I did not realize I was at a Downton Abbey garden party. Then there’s the consoling “Y...
