Here’s a Special Way to Show Montana Veterans We Care
While Memorial Day is officially a weekend to remember those servicemen and women who didn't make it home, it's also powerful to thank those who did make it home, but often struggle to find a home. For more than 20 years Valor House in Missoula has been doing just that,...
Montana Too Cold for Harrison Ford? ‘1923’ is Moving to Texas
For the better part of 4 years now, Montana has been experiencing a migration of people to the state. Simply bring up the topic of "California," "Out-of-Staters" or "Transplants" in a local bar, and you will get locals fired up. People always say that the "new" residents of Montana don't understand what REAL Montana is like. The "new" residents think that Montana is just like what they see on the show "Yellowstone." And there seems to be a sense of justice for the locals when a giant snowstorm or extreme temperatures give the "new" residents a taste of what REAL Montana is like.
Some Of The Best National Park Luxurious Lodging Is Found In Montana
USA Today Readers' Choice chose "The 10 Best National Park Lodges," earlier this month, and to no one's surprise, Montana was home to two of the top 10. Also to no one's surprise, Glacier National Park houses both lodges on the list. No. 10: Glacier Park Lodge - Glacier National...
High Snowmelt Now Triggers Special Flood Watches In Montana
Spring rain and heavy, wet snowmelt are prompting new flooding issues in parts of Montana. Mountain streams and flatland rivers are both experiencing flooding problems. With over a foot more of new snow expected to fall in many (high elevation) places across Montana, flood warnings should be taken very seriously.
Score Unique Treasures at Shuttered Montana Bowling Alley Auction
Regardless of the circumstances, we hate seeing local Montana businesses close their doors. These mom-and-pop closures always seem to hit a little harder in small towns and surely the folks in Big Timber are not happy that they no longer have a bowling alley. The City Club Steakhouse, Lanes &...

Why Montanans Are Being Encouraged to Wear Body Cameras
Montanans are being encouraged to wear body cameras just like law enforcement may wear. Here's why. Do you see those people standing on the street corner desperately trying to get you to sign their petition? The best one-liner piece of advice we've heard is "decline to sign" when it comes to these shady ballot initiative signature gathering efforts.
“Crap You Play”? Let’s Talk Radio Requests
The music that radio stations play is something that I've fought with management about since I got into this business. It's what the company is pushing and trying to sell versus what I think listeners actually want to hear. I've even been written up for not playing the "scheduled music."
Beach vs. Mountains: Round 2 – Mountains Lose?
You might recall a few weeks ago I did an article on Beach or Mountains. Well, I think the question has been answered. They are getting so many people at Mt. Fuji that they have now implemented a reservation requirement. With too many people at one time, they will now only allow 4,000 people per day. A lot of this is brought on by inconsiderate people who ruin it for everyone else. They are having such a problem with garbage and other refuse left behind that they had to do something.
Warning: Powerful Montana Storm To Bring More Than 15″ Snow
Another famous Montana spring storm is headed our way, and higher elevations are going to get more than a foot of heavy, wet snow.

Montana Constitution: Treason and War
A caller exasperated upon me one morning, paraphrasing, "I don't want to be on the air. But I haven't heard the word 'Treason' being mentioned lately. Why are we not charging them with Treason?" "Because we're not at war!" I responded curtly. Then thanked her for calling and hung up...
See Inside the Presley Family’s Spectacular Real Estate Empire [Pictures]
The Presley family is akin to contemporary American royalty, with their incredible real estate holdings as evidence of their status. Elvis Presley was well-known for his iconic Graceland mansion in Memphis, but that was just part of his spectacular real estate portfolio — and his former wife, Priscilla, daughter Lisa Marie Presley and granddaughter Riley Keough are not far behind!
Tatanka: The Making of His Perfect Montana Cigar
I had the honor of joining Cascade County Sheriff Jesse Slaughter on his Pursuit Podcast last Fall. Afterwards, we got to talking about cigars. He told me about Ken Weinheimer, the owner of Rocky Mountain Liquor, and how he set out to create the perfect cigar. I'm not the biggest...
Video: Bear Spray Explodes in Yellowstone Worker Vehicle
You have to watch this video in order to see the crazy still shot photo of the car windshield after a can of bear spray blew up up inside a Yellowstone National Park worker's vehicle. Cowboy State Daily had this news earlier in the week: YNP Worker Discovers What Happens...
Newcomers & Naysayers: The Great Montana Migration Debate
So why are they coming here? I had a chance to go to Bozeman over the weekend, and the growth they are experiencing is remarkable. The town is growing faster than it can accommodate, expanding so rapidly from people coming in from all over who can now work from home and want a great place to live and raise a family.
Why You Can’t be in a Hurry to Boat in Yellowstone or Glacier
If you're summer plans involving boating on one of the beautiful lakes in Yellowstone or Glacier National Parks in 2024, you'd better plan ahead. That's because the parks have imposed a 30-day quarantine for sailboats, and some types of motorboats in 2024. It's all part of tougher new regulations to...
