Look! Up In The Sky!

Two sky-related things: first, the brief storms yesterday evening created at least one rainbow. Here’s a phone-pix of one south of town (click for full-size): Second, got an e-mail from Aaron with a tip about the “Moon Illusion” that you might be able to see tonight: On Wednesday night, June 18th, step outside at sunset and look around. You’ll see a giant form rising in the east. At first glance it looks like the full Moon. It has craters...

It’s amazing how different the scenery is when you drive north versus south (or southwest). Both are beautiful drives, in their own way; I know that some people don’t consider the flatter, more barren region north of Great Falls to be “beautiful,” but it...

Monarch, Neihart, & The Lazy Doe

Took a nifty little day-trip out to Monarch and Neihart today, and stopped for an awesome lunch at the Lazy Doe. We also cruised a bit farther south and saw the snow at Showdown.

Some other highlights of the trip: - Temperatures ranged from 76 degrees (at the Belt Creek turnoff) to 49 degrees (at...
