I spent the last part of September in Glacier National Park at Lake McDonald and it was glorious as usual. Miracle of miracles, Going-To-The-Sun Road was open and it was showing fall foliage like I have never seen up there ever. Not only that but where the large forest fire burned last year in the vicinity of Baring Creek, there are views and vistas showing that have never been seen from the road before. It is simply awesome! While there, we stayed in cabin 6 at the Village Lodge and the views looking up at the Garden Wall and adjoining...

The Hays Lodgepole Thunderbird football team fell to 1-6 on the season after a tough 50-40 loss to the Power-Dutton-Brady Titans this past Saturday at Sullivan field in Hays.

Saturday against the Titans, the Thunder...

The 'Beeters honored their seniors during a halftime ceremony as they were playing in front of their hometown fans for the final time.

Boy was I shocked last weekend when I found out that Buffalo had beaten the Patriots. Not only did they beat them but they didn’t even allow the Patriots to score in their own stadium! That has not happened for a while. It couldn’t have happened at a better time for Rex Ryan. That was his first win for the season and rumor had it that if he did not win the Patriots game he would be looking for a job! So, before this last round of games has been played let’s see who is where and what is what in the mighty NFL. New England is at the top of the A...
