Montana is a rare and special place. Known as the "Treasure State" and "Big Sky Country" many things about Montana are large, though not our population. Our landscape includes many contrasts such as wide open space and high mountains with wild game, ranch/farm land and distant towns and cities, native people and those who have come more recently from all over the world to either visit or live. All this combines to make Montana a place of inspiration and beauty. Montana has diverse offerings of artistic heritage, open range, mountains, flora and fauna and friendly people. Read on for countless examples.

Here is a photo taken at Tucker Crossing north of Victor, MT at 9:45 am. It is just about the middle of the Bitterroot River. You can see the sky is overcast and spring run-off hasn't started. The river is not high - normal for this time of year, the weather is cool. The air temperature starts out in the upper 30 degree range, about 11 am or 12 pm it climbs over 40 degrees. Today's high is forecasted at 52 degrees with the high-overcast sky. There is no water temperature gage on the Florence measuring station but the upper river water temperature is ... Read Full Story

Small elk herd in December 2008 (Photo by Merle Ann Loman) This is a photo journal of a particular group of elk in the Bitterroot Valley. The photos document movements in almost every month of the year and were collected over a period of 3 years. This group moves about on private and adjacent public land. It has been seen as one big group, or herd, of up to a few hundred, in smaller groups of around 50, and sometimes as individuals alone. The bigger bulls are the most elusive so these photos are of cows, calves and some young bulls. "See slideshow here" ... Read Full Story

It is March. The snow water equivalent and total precipitaition measurements for the Bitterroot (and much of Montana) are slightly below 100%. To the left is a photo taken March 2 at Tucker Crossing looking to the south. At that time, we were in a dry weather pattern. The next two photos are from the same day and taken at Woodside Crossing looking north. As a side note, there is a great trail provided by Teller Wildlife Refuge. It is well used for exercise and nature walks. The snowy photo was taken March 8th of Gash Creej in the Bitterroot Mountains west of Victor, ... Read Full Story

Hunters took to the field yesterday across northwest Montana for the opener of the general deer and elk season.

Filed under: EV/Plug-in, Green Culture, USA Elk Horn, Iowa's website says it is located, "In the heart of Southwest Iowa's picturesque countryside." Google Maps shows just how remote the town is, so it is clear that to make this place a forward-thinking electric vehicle destination takes a bit of chutzpah. While most EV advocates and manufacturers see electric cars as urban runabouts for the near future, Elk Horn businessman Mike Howard...
