That lollygagging low over the Great Basin has been flirting with Montana all week, but it will finally start moving toward us this weekend. Severe weather will be more likely west on Friday, and east on Saturday! Keep an eye to the sky this weekend!

We are fortunate be able to hike thru/around our ski area off-season. Probably get arrested ones like Alta or Mammoth Mtn. Strenuous 20K hike to 2865m top today from 2240m base. So much less ❄️ than last year, easy to get around. Not much mud either, drying out fast. Hope our cooler spell this weekend pans out. Wildflowers full swing S-facing slopes lower half. Great views looking out NW-N-E-SE. Warm 21C at base cooler up top of course. #climate #hiking #dogs #mountains #montana #gye

Before Montana had a voice, it had Joe Howard. Journalist, historian, union man — he exposed corporate plunder, championed the forgotten, and wrote the book that defined a state. He died at 45, but Montana’s conscience never really went quiet.

#MontanaTribe Opposes ‘Slap on the Wrist’ Fine for #IllegalMining That Polluted #WaterSource
by Elyse Wild May 26, 2026
"The #FortBelknap Indian Community is opposing a settlement between the state’s Department of Environmental Quality and mining companies that illegally mined on the tribes’ ancestral homeland, harming crucial water sources for the reservation.
"From 2020 to 2022, #BlueArcLLC and #LegacyMiningLLC conducted mining activities at the #ZortmanMine in the #LittleRockyMountains without permits, licenses, or performance bonds, resulting in damage to ongoing environmental reclamation efforts.
"The #ZortmanLanduskyMine opened in 1979 and was operated by #PegasusGoldCorp. until it filed for bankruptcy in 1998. Two decades of mining activities caused widespread surface and #GroundwaterContamination, and in 1999, the DEQ and Bureau of Land Management took over the site. In 2001, Luke Ployhar, owner of Blue Arc LLC, bought the land out of the bankruptcy under the condition that the #DEQ had ongoing access to conduct #reclamation activities.
"The two agencies spent approximately $85 million cleaning up the area, according to the consent order. The site needs #WaterTreatment in perpetuity, meaning the additional cost to #taxpayers could exceed hundreds of millions of dollars.
"The illegal mining activities damaged the continuous #environmental cleanup and caused contaminated water to flow downstream to the #FortBelknapIndianCommunity, polluting its water.
In 2022, the state proposed a $516,567 penalty for Blue Arc LLC and Legacy Mining LLC. On Friday, May 22, the DEQ reached a settlement with the companies for $200,000, to be paid over five years. The agreement does not require an admission of wrongdoing."

Lawsuit challenges cancellation of federal grants for #Tribal agricultural programs
Tribal groups join lawsuit seeking restoration of $127 million in canceled farm grants
In March, the USDA canceled 49 grants, including at least three supporting Montana projects designed to support ‘underserved’ farmers and ranchers.
Wednesday, May 27, 2026
By Nora Mabie, Montana Free Press"Twenty-four organizations, including one that serves tribes in Montana and the surrounding region, on Tuesday joined a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture, alleging that grants supporting farmers and ranchers were unlawfully terminated.
"In March, the USDA canceled 49 of 50 Increasing Land, Capital and Market Access Program grants designed to support 'underserved' farmers and ranchers.
"At least three projects in Montana were affected: #PiikaniLodgeHealthInstitute, headquartered on the #Blackfeet Reservation, lost a nearly $9 million grant to improve operations for farmers and ranchers in the region. The #ChippewaCree Tribe in north-central Montana lost a nearly $6 million award to purchase land and train young farmers and ranchers how to manage it. And #SouthDakota-based #FourBandsCommunityFund lost an $8.5 million grant to train and financially support at least 25 #LowIncome agricultural producers in #Montana, #NorthDakota, South Dakota and Wyoming. At the time, Montana-based awardees described the terminations as 'devastating.' "

Major John Owen built Montana's first trading post — then lost his mind, his fort, and his fortune. Now legend says he buried gold there too. But did he? The diaries, the ledger, and decades of archaeology tell a very different story.

When it's 95° in Jordan, 96° in Miles City & Wolf Point, and 98° in Glasgow & Glendive in May, it makes me glad Montana has cool, beautiful mountains for relief! More heat ahead... stay cool everyone!

Able make it round the corner 2740m on Hellroaring Rd. that was drifted over 3 weeks ago. On our run 2300m to 2800m then back. Turned around where Sundance and I had only ever close brown bear encounter here 03JUL2021. Drifts further up. He behaved admirably at 16 months of age and got raw steak for dinner that evening 👍🏽. No bear today but little lake nearby was perfect for them cool off in. Warm 21C at start lite SW wind. Drying out fast. #climate #running #dogs #montana #gye #mountains

:stargif: 𝑳𝒂 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒏̃𝒂 𝒚 𝒆𝒍 𝒑𝒖𝒆𝒃𝒍𝒐 :stargif:
El 8 de marzo de 1960 amaneció cubierto de nieve en Sierra Nevada.
En la zona del Picón de Jérez, cerca de Jérez del Marquesado, el temporal era serio incluso para quienes conocían bien aquellas montañas.
El viento golpeaba con fuerza, la visibilidad era mala y el frío se metía en los huesos.
A unos 2.600 metros de altitud, cualquier error podía convertirse en algo fatal.Y entonces apareció un avión cayendo sobre la sierra.
Era una aeronave militar estadounidense que transportaba a 24 personas.
El aparato terminó estrellándose contra la ladera en medio de la nevada.
Lo normal habría sido que nadie sobreviviera.
Pero el piloto consiguió amortiguar el impacto lo suficiente para evitar una tragedia inmediata.
Los ocupantes quedaron vivos, aunque atrapados entre nieve, metal destrozado y temperaturas extremas.El problema era otro: nadie podía llegar fácilmente hasta allí.
No había helicópteros de rescate preparados para actuar en aquellas condiciones.
Tampoco existían los equipos modernos de montaña que hoy parecen normales.
Sierra Nevada en 1960 seguía siendo una montaña dura, aislada y peligrosa.
Y el temporal empeoraba cada hora.Dos militares lograron bajar desde el lugar del accidente hasta Jérez del Marquesado.
Lo hicieron agotados, desorientados y prácticamente como pudieron.
Apenas hablaban español, pero los vecinos entendieron enseguida que había más hombres atrapados arriba y que necesitaban ayuda urgente.El pueblo reaccionó casi sin pensarlo.
No hubo reuniones largas ni esperas burocráticas.
Los hombres empezaron a organizarse para subir a la montaña.
Muchos eran agricultores, pastores o trabajadores acostumbrados a caminar por aquellas pendientes desde niños.
Conocían senderos que no aparecían en ningún mapa y sabían cómo moverse en mitad de la nieve.Subieron con mulas, cuerdas, mantas y camillas improvisadas.
Nada más.
Mientras hoy un rescate moviliza tecnología, comunicaciones y vehículos especializados, ellos solo tenían experiencia, resistencia física y una idea bastante simple: no dejar morir a nadie allí arriba.
La subida fue durísima.
La nieve alcanzaba zonas peligrosas y el viento hacía casi imposible avanzar en algunos tramos.
Cuando llegaron al avión encontraron a los militares heridos, congelados y completamente agotados.
Algunos apenas podían mantenerse conscientes.Y empezó entonces otra parte todavía más difícil: bajarlos.
Los vecinos improvisaron camillas, acomodaron heridos sobre mulas y en algunos casos cargaron a hombres adultos montaña abajo usando únicamente fuerza física.
El descenso duró horas.
El frío seguía golpeando y el riesgo de que alguno muriera durante el trayecto era real.Mientras tanto, abajo, el pueblo entero se movilizó.
Las mujeres preparaban comida caliente, café, mantas y lugares donde atender a los supervivientes.
Casas particulares se abrieron para recibir a desconocidos llegados desde otro continente.
Algunos militares terminaron descansando en viviendas humildes donde apenas había recursos, pero sí algo que en aquel momento importaba mucho más: calor humano.Y ocurrió algo extraordinario.
Los 24 ocupantes sobrevivieron.
La noticia cruzó el Atlántico y apareció en medios estadounidenses.
En plena época de la Guerra Fría, cuando la presencia militar norteamericana en España todavía era un tema delicado, la historia de aquel pequeño pueblo granadino sorprendió muchísimo fuera del país.
Un grupo de vecinos sin medios modernos había logrado salvar a toda una tripulación atrapada en Sierra Nevada.Durante años, en Jérez del Marquesado se siguió hablando de “el avión americano”.
Hubo cartas de agradecimiento, regalos y ayudas enviadas desde Estados Unidos.
Algunos supervivientes jamás olvidaron a las personas que subieron a buscarlos entre la nieve.Con el tiempo, la historia terminó convirtiéndose casi en leyenda local.
Hoy todavía existe la llamada Ruta Solidaria del Avión, un recorrido que recuerda aquel rescate y que lleva a senderistas y curiosos hasta la zona donde ocurrió el accidente.
Pero más allá de la montaña o de los restos históricos, lo que sigue impresionando es otra cosa.La rapidez con la que un pueblo entero decidió ayudar a desconocidos.
Sin cámaras.
Sin titulares.
Sin esperar recompensa.
Solo personas ayudando a otras personas porque era lo correcto.
Y quizá por eso esta historia sigue emocionando más de sesenta años después.
Porque recuerda algo muy simple y muy humano: a veces la diferencia entre la vida y la muerte no la marca la tecnología ni el dinero.La marca la gente que decide subir la montaña.

El 8 de marzo de 1960 amaneció cubierto de nieve en Sierra Nevada.
En la zona del Picón de Jérez, cerca de Jérez del Marquesado, el temporal era serio incluso para quienes conocían bien aquellas montañas.
El viento golpeaba con fuerza, la visibilidad era mala y el frío se metía en los huesos.
A unos 2.600 metros de altitud, cualquier error podía convertirse en algo fatal.Y entonces apareció un avión cayendo sobre la sierra.
Era una aeronave militar estadounidense que transportaba a 24 personas.
El aparato terminó estrellándose contra la ladera en medio de la nevada.
Lo normal habría sido que nadie sobreviviera.
Pero el piloto consiguió amortiguar el impacto lo suficiente para evitar una tragedia inmediata.
Los ocupantes quedaron vivos, aunque atrapados entre nieve, metal destrozado y temperaturas extremas.El problema era otro: nadie podía llegar fácilmente hasta allí.
No había helicópteros de rescate preparados para actuar en aquellas condiciones.
Tampoco existían los equipos modernos de montaña que hoy parecen normales.
Sierra Nevada en 1960 seguía siendo una montaña dura, aislada y peligrosa.
Y el temporal empeoraba cada hora.Dos militares lograron bajar desde el lugar del accidente hasta Jérez del Marquesado.
Lo hicieron agotados, desorientados y prácticamente como pudieron.
Apenas hablaban español, pero los vecinos entendieron enseguida que había más hombres atrapados arriba y que necesitaban ayuda urgente.El pueblo reaccionó casi sin pensarlo.
No hubo reuniones largas ni esperas burocráticas.
Los hombres empezaron a organizarse para subir a la montaña.
Muchos eran agricultores, pastores o trabajadores acostumbrados a caminar por aquellas pendientes desde niños.
Conocían senderos que no aparecían en ningún mapa y sabían cómo moverse en mitad de la nieve.Subieron con mulas, cuerdas, mantas y camillas improvisadas.
Nada más.
Mientras hoy un rescate moviliza tecnología, comunicaciones y vehículos especializados, ellos solo tenían experiencia, resistencia física y una idea bastante simple: no dejar morir a nadie allí arriba.
La subida fue durísima.
La nieve alcanzaba zonas peligrosas y el viento hacía casi imposible avanzar en algunos tramos.
Cuando llegaron al avión encontraron a los militares heridos, congelados y completamente agotados.
Algunos apenas podían mantenerse conscientes.Y empezó entonces otra parte todavía más difícil: bajarlos.
Los vecinos improvisaron camillas, acomodaron heridos sobre mulas y en algunos casos cargaron a hombres adultos montaña abajo usando únicamente fuerza física.
El descenso duró horas.
El frío seguía golpeando y el riesgo de que alguno muriera durante el trayecto era real.Mientras tanto, abajo, el pueblo entero se movilizó.
Las mujeres preparaban comida caliente, café, mantas y lugares donde atender a los supervivientes.
Casas particulares se abrieron para recibir a desconocidos llegados desde otro continente.
Algunos militares terminaron descansando en viviendas humildes donde apenas había recursos, pero sí algo que en aquel momento importaba mucho más: calor humano.Y ocurrió algo extraordinario.
Los 24 ocupantes sobrevivieron.
La noticia cruzó el Atlántico y apareció en medios estadounidenses.
En plena época de la Guerra Fría, cuando la presencia militar norteamericana en España todavía era un tema delicado, la historia de aquel pequeño pueblo granadino sorprendió muchísimo fuera del país.
Un grupo de vecinos sin medios modernos había logrado salvar a toda una tripulación atrapada en Sierra Nevada.Durante años, en Jérez del Marquesado se siguió hablando de “el avión americano”.
Hubo cartas de agradecimiento, regalos y ayudas enviadas desde Estados Unidos.
Algunos supervivientes jamás olvidaron a las personas que subieron a buscarlos entre la nieve.Con el tiempo, la historia terminó convirtiéndose casi en leyenda local.
Hoy todavía existe la llamada Ruta Solidaria del Avión, un recorrido que recuerda aquel rescate y que lleva a senderistas y curiosos hasta la zona donde ocurrió el accidente.
Pero más allá de la montaña o de los restos históricos, lo que sigue impresionando es otra cosa.La rapidez con la que un pueblo entero decidió ayudar a desconocidos.
Sin cámaras.
Sin titulares.
Sin esperar recompensa.
Solo personas ayudando a otras personas porque era lo correcto.
Y quizá por eso esta historia sigue emocionando más de sesenta años después.
Porque recuerda algo muy simple y muy humano: a veces la diferencia entre la vida y la muerte no la marca la tecnología ni el dinero.La marca la gente que decide subir la montaña.
