Here’s a couple of solid quotes from the vid – … that Montana — well, Montana’s interests aren’t perfectly aligned with ExxonMobil’s and the EPA’s.

The smartest thing we read so far regarding the 1000 barrel Yellowstone River oil spill comes from Flathead country, through the thoughtful reasoning of Wayne at Will Fish For Work.

Still on the road playing hooky with She Who Must Be Obeyed in the mountain West. By virtue of an ambitious plan to head back home to Montana for a few days we’ve had the pleasure of seeing more than a handful of western waterways up close and personal. I can’t remember how long it’s [...]
