Montana is known for its breathtaking mountain views, majestic lakes, and vast expanses of open prairie, but one new study is honing in on a particular type of building often seen within those iconic viewsheds – the country schoolhouse. At one time, there were an estimated 2,600 rural schools in Montana. Beginning with the missions and gold camps, schoolhouses became essential community institutions and in the era of homesteading, they multiplied across the state. Today, Montana has about 60, o...

Sympathy to the people in Puerto Rico and Mexico. My cousin, Ray Austin, is in Mexico. Hope he is okay. Thank goodness Montana is not burning up from fires like it was during this past dry summer. The rains, cool weather and even snow in Western Montana helped put out the fires. What a wonderful thing. The Whitewater Booster Club had a fundraiser for Forks Hall. It was at the North 40 and money was raised for the Forks Building, which was the stomping ground years ago, and maybe will be again.... Full story

I hadn’t fished in three weeks and thought I hadn’t missed it. After all, it was hunting season now. But it remained very much summer. Every day hot and dry. Most were smoky. In order to avoid the heat and lessen the chance of encountering rattlesnakes, I’d leave the house before light and hunt a couple of hours in the cool of the morning. By 9 a.m. it was usually too hot to continue and I’d start looking for shade. I longed for the weather to change. Then, right on schedule, it did. Rain an... Full story

I have said it once before and I will say it once again;... Full story
