 Alder Gulch Train Proves Short Lines Makes for Long Fun
Posted Tuesday, October 14 @ 02:00:00 PDT by Dominic
Historically, the train never made it all the way out to Virginia City, and it cost the settlers untold monies, whether they wanted to get goods or even just their mail (more than $1 over 100 years ago, if you can believe everything they tell you on your local tour), but that hasn’t stopped the local chamber of commerce from getting motive with their own chugga-chugga-short-line-choo-choo, and as a kid right in their demographic wheelhouse, I must admit it makes for great fun to ride. |

 Virginia City Free Museum Actually Cool Crap Store
Posted Monday, October 13 @ 01:00:00 PDT by Dominic
Right in the heart of Virginia City, you might be surprised to find a museum that allows all to enter for free. That’s right, at no cost at all. What might surprise you less is that it’s actually just a junk shop full of thousands of touristy trinkets for sale, along with a couple arguably interesting historical relics. Kind of depends what you’re into, but I love touristy stuff, so without admission charge, it works for me. |

 Summer Ski Chair Lifts More than Spirits at Big Sky Resort
Posted Sunday, October 12 @ 02:00:00 PDT by Brendan
During our wonderful stay at Big Sky Resort over the quiet summer season, we had an opportunity to jump on the chair lift so we could really look down on our fellow man. We weren’t sure we’d do it because brother Patrick, being autistic, is overly fearful of things more than anyone else might be. We spent a good two days warming him up to the idea, so when it came to go-time, he wasn’t just ready, he was eager. |

 Inn Keeper Puppy Brings Towels to Cabin, Also Wet Nose
Posted Saturday, October 11 @ 05:00:00 PDT by Dominic
On the morning of our last departure from our favorite sleepover spot in Montana (the 1880s Ranch we’ve spoken so highly of before) we got an unexpected visit from a mangy fellow we couldn’t help but love. Maybe it was because it was such a surprise or maybe because he was our height, but I think it was because he showed unabashed affection in ways only us juniors seem capable of. |

 Nevada City Re-Enactors Miss My Time-Travel Joke
Posted Friday, October 10 @ 02:00:00 PDT by Brendan
There was an episode of South Park making fun of guys like this, the steadfast historical re-enactors that refuse to break character, but if you’ve never met with their kind, they really are every bit as annoying as that clever bit of off-color satire I've suggested. They really can’t take a joke. |

 Currents Missoula the Best Indoor Water Park This Side of Anywhere
Posted Thursday, October 09 @ 01:00:00 PDT by Brendan
The city of Missoula has really come into its own in the last ten years. I’m only five fingers, so I have to take it on faith and research (more the latter) and I’ve got to say, of all the places in Montana -- and they were all great cities -- Missoula is the best of all of them. Currents Aquatic Center might not be the best example of what’s great about Missoula, but it’s got to be easily in the top 2-3. Currents Aquatic Center is really fantastic. |
