Simply devastating - so much so that I wonder why it fell to an outfit like Slate to put it together.

Did the Times or WaPo not have enough of an inkling about NASA's discovery to survey naysayers before writing up their reports on the "discovery"? This information would have come in a lot handier when everyone was still paying attention to this story.

Traveling In Montana

Hawk Valley Herbs

September 11, 2010

We headed to the town of Missoula, on Highway 12 and then jumped onto 90. The landscape was a little disappointing in this area but once we got off the main highway and got onto route 287 things began to look more interesting.

We had heard of the bear attack in Cook City, NE of Yellowstone, where someone had been killed and a couple of others wounded by a mother grizzly whilst sleeping in a tent. Terrible. So when we had to sign a waiver of responsibility, as we paid for the campsite the reality of our new situation hit home. I am so used to hiking on my own and now I felt quite fearful to do so.

July 8, 2010

California's national parks are stepping up this summer to offer visitors expanded activities and programs, along with exciting new experiences.

One of the finest wildlife viewing experiences in a national park is found at Elk Meadow in Redwood National and State Parks in Northern California. Roosevelt elk, the largest big game animal in North America, graze on the meadow that surrounds six former mill worker cabins that have been converted into luxury three-bedroom cabins for rent. The elk are curious and will approach quiet onlookers, though they're most interested in foraging.
