I recently read a story about two young men who paddled their canoe from Butte to the Pacific Ocean, completing the 1,300-mile journey in 52 days.

During my time working for both the Livingston Enterprise and the Bozeman Chronicle I wrote and edited a number of stories about such trips. Plenty of would-be adventurers have grand visions of starting a float trip near the...

Susan and the boys handled the flight over the Atlantic Ocean very well, thanks in part to the huge catalog of movies available to us. They had over 150 movie options and 150 tv s...

Lots of smoke in the valley all this week from the Canadian fires. They seem like to be burning forever. We had a couple of good thunderstorms this week and one put down a good lot of water.
