Underwater Treasure Hunter Explores Montana’s Nimrod Hot Spring
It is a hidden gem that only us locals know about. Im talking about the Nimrod Hot Spring on I-90 near Bearmouth. For most driving along I-90, they see what appears to be a stagnant pond, or green puddle on the side of the interstate highway. But, upon closer inspection, you will find a hidden oasis. Including it very own cave/grotto.
Can You Collect Rocks From Around Montana? Yes and No
I appreciate a good stone. I'm not a rock skipper, or even a rock hound, but I have been known to slip a rock in my pocket if I find a "good one." While I know in Montana it's best to "leave no trace" meaning, to pick up after yourself but to also leave nature undistribued, I wondered if it is illegal to collect rocks in Montana.
Letting Pony Cars Run in the Sun in Missoula
If you're of a certain age, this was the year you dragged your dad over to Bell Ford in Missoula, where you started dreaming about owning a Mustang one day. If you convinced your Dad to buy the new Mustang, it would have probably cost less than $2500. Today, that same stock Mustang would cost anywhere from $12,000 to $20,000. A customized original could set you back $20,000 to $40,000. And If you are lucky enough to find an initial model of the rare "Shelby GT", you'd have to shell out anywhere from $60,000 to six figures to drive your dream.
What Happened in Latest Montana Quake

Things in Missoula That Would Surprise Any European
I lived in Ireland for six months and during my stay, I had a greater appreciation of the United States, especially Montana.

Montana Lottery Warns of Scams: Avoid Playing These Numbers
There is something about having a lottery ticket in your pocket that brings you hope. You find yourself thinking about how your life would change if your numbers would just come in.

Awesome Setting for New Northwest Montana Public Archery Range
Just across the road from a state park that lies on the shores of one of Montana's jewels, its opening has been officially announced. Yep.

FWP recently hosted a grand opening ceremony with Governor Greg Gianforte, members of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes Natural Resources Department and Tribal Council, and members of the Dayton Elementary School archery team (more on that shortly).
