    Sondra Ashton|Updated Nov 17, 2023

    My friend Jim from Glasgow sent me a short video clip of the Little Rockies, Three Buttes, Snake Butte and the Bear Paws. Immediately, I yearned, homesick.

First off, locals cannot compete with the prices that Montana homes are reaching. The next issue is that our tax...

There are many cattle trails that cross, but only one will take you to the gate. That's why Charlie rides point to show the way and I ride drag and sometimes swing to keep the herd moving and on the right trail. Now, as the new guy and tenderfoot herder, I didn't know the way on my own, so I relied on Cha...

Suddenly, the bumper stickers and specialty license plates I saw around town made a lot more sense! The upcoming Cat-Griz game has me thinking about rivalries.
